Something for you? We made a Massive Open Online Course ( #MOOC ) about #microplastics , #nanoplastics , #plastics , analysis, fate, transport, exposure, effects, risks, risk perception. And informative podcasts with key stakeholders! bit.ly/3IRuXlT

Do you enjoy haute cuisine? Here's a recipe for creating environmentally relevant #microplastics mixtures, along with instructions for their use in effect tests that comply with 20 QA/QC criteria. Say goodbye to those spooky alignments. By Vera de Ruijter bit.ly/3Pu7vi7

Whatever type of sample you take, it is always a subsample. But... How many #microplastics particles must be sampled at minimum to ensure representativeness? Wonderful collaboration with Win Cowger, PhD et al. Moore Institute for Plastic Pollution Research doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoe…

At the interface of science & policy. Working with @RIVM on the assessment of #microplastics risks in #soils !

Innovative work by @Rozita2020 from WUR @SLM & MINAGRIS: Impacts of plastic debris on soil health on MP vertical transport in different soil types. Including impressive particle transport modeling.

Set of intriguing #microplastics effects detected!

Wonderfull! #microplastics science = f( #hydrology )

Interested in #microplastics in #soil ? Here’s the first fully aligned & QA/QC-screened #riskassessment based on source-specific particle characteristics! Great collaboration with key scientists like Paula Redondo-Hasselerharm from Papillons_EU and from MINAGRIS: Impacts of plastic debris on soil health , see bit.ly/493TxLX

La llegada masiva de #pélets de plástico ha vuelto a poner en el foco la contaminación ambiental por plásticos. Pero ¿por qué es tan difícil evaluar su toxicidad? Paula Redondo-Hasselerharm (@IMDEA_Agua) y  @Carledcu (@UAHes) nos lo explican:

Five new grants for our human-health #microplastics team in 2023! Yvette Mellink (MENACE @RIVM); Ira Wardani (BRIGID, bit.ly/46vn92z), Taylor Lane (MOMENTUM2.0, bit.ly/46w9sQU), and Vera de Ruijter & Yanning Qiu (ATHENA, bit.ly/49THWzE).

Happy we’re a Clarivate Highly-Cited #microplastics TEAM for 6 years in a row! Curious about what happens at MicroplasticLab Wageningen? Check out our updated website microplasticlab.com for an overview of our new publications, team members and projects!

Hot off the press: Environmentally Relevant #Microplastics (ERMP) were tested across 16 invertebrate species, meeting 20 QA/QC criteria. The ERMP exhibited exactly the same diversity as microplastics in nature. Congrats Vera de Ruijter, with your new paper!bit.ly/3Tc4lCH
