Microplastics, tiny plastic particles under five millimeters, enter the environment from a variety of sources like larger plastic breakdown, personal care products, and industrial processes. Studies have found them in human tissues, linked to health effects. This webinar series will cover the complexity of risk assessment, research gaps, policy needs, and considerations of health equity and environmental justice related to their impact on human health.
Please see the recording of the first webinar in the series, Webinar 1 – Methodologies for appropriate and improved sampling, analysis, characterization, monitoring, and reporting of microplastics, held on February 27, 2025, here.
