Hosted by National Academies for Science, Engineering, and Medicine
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Environmental Health Matters Initiative is organizing a webinar series to explore human exposure to and related health effects of microplastics in the environment.
The first webinar will promote awareness and provide a standard baseline understanding of microplastics' critical characteristics and associated future research direction. Specifically, speakers and panelists will highlight best practices and considerations for the collection, measurement, and characterization of microplastics in different media. They will also explore the latest scientific findings that could enhance the comparability, reproducibility, and transparency of future microplastic research, providing crucial insights to inform downstream decision-making.
