Our partners from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona AIMPLAS have completed the 1st comprehensive look at #nanoplastics' effects on human blood. Key findings: -Monocytes absorb + #NPLs. -Lymphocytes show increased oxidative stress. -Changes in cytokine release & haemolysis. doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

A must-read on the need for an integrated approach to manage risks from contaminants impacting health, animal welfare, & the environment. It shows the deep connections between these areas in tackling public health challenges. 🌍 doi.org/10.1016/j.xinn… #OneHealth #PublicHealth

Environmental Exposure Assessment Research Infrastructure (EIRENE) aims to fill the gap in the European infrastructural landscape and to pioneer the first EU infrastructure on human exposome. Find out more here - fheritale.eu/partners

Read an eye-opening article on microplastics in fish & seafood! It dives into the risks these tiny pollutants pose to both our health and the environment. Let’s stay informed and make better choices! doi.org/10.3390%2Fijer… #Microplastics #OceanHealth #FoodSafety

This article dives deep into the health risks of micro- and nanoplastics! It highlights how these Micro and Nano particles could be ingested and even raise concerns about cancer. doi.org/10.1007/s12403… #HealthRisks #microplastics #nanoplastic #EnvironmentalConcerns

Micro and nano-plastics (MNPs) are everywhere, but their impact on our health is still largely unknown. This review highlights potential risks to different organ systems and identifies gaps in our knowledge Read more here: fheritale.eu/publications

💯Thank you to Kristaps Jaudzems (Kristaps Jaudzems) and to the LIOS team for the organization on this stimulating kick-off meeting: we look forward to a fruitful collaboration in the frame of MR LATVIA EC project and beyond! #NMR #NMRchat

Exposure to MNPs (micro and nano-plastics) could cause oxidative stress, immune dysfunction, inflammation, and even impact energy metabolism and cell growth. Read more here - fheritale.eu/publications #OneHealth #Toxicology #Plastics

Did you know? Most studies on micro and nano-plastics (MNPs) focus on a few plastic types, leaving many common plastic particles unstudied. This review calls for broader research to fully understand the health risks we're facing from everyday plastics - fheritale.eu/publications

The health effects of micro and nano-plastics (MNP) exposure might be more serious than we think—potentially affecting everything from organ development to cancer risks. Find out more here fheritale.eu/publications #HealthRisks #PlasticsPollution

Micro-nano plastics (MNPs) are making their way into our food system, posing potential long-term risks to our intestinal health. This review explores how MNPs form and enter our food chain from production to consumption. Read more here – fheritale.eu/publications

Consumed food, processing methods, and even the way we eat can be sources of micro-nano plastics (MNPs ingestion). The study highlights alarming effects on the gut, including inflammation, cytotoxicity, and gut barrier damage. fheritale.eu/publications #PublicHealth

How do micro-nano plastics (MNPs) impact our digestive system? Studies reveal particle translocation, intestinal inflammation, and changes in gut microbiota—raising concerns about long-term exposure through food. fheritale.eu/publications #Microplastics #HealthImpact #Research

Cutting-edge technologies are helping researchers track micro-nano plastics (MNP) pollution in our food system. But with increasing public concern, more efforts are needed to prevent these tiny particles from entering our food. Read more here, fheritale.eu/publications

Getting ready for the FHERITALE Strategic Meeting in Utrecht next week!
