In parallel, more research is needed to develop diverse methods to predict #MNPs effects on human health, to be able to better model the exposure risks.

Love haute cuisine? Here's a recipe for #microplastics mixtures with the same level of polydispersity as in nature. This innovation will improve risk assessments for human and environmental health by providing realistic testing materials. ->Vera de Ruijter bit.ly/40MB0Cv

Congrats to the WUR Environmental #microplastics team for being on the Highly Cited Researchers | Clarivate list for the 7th year in a row ! bit.ly/3CKSYeE

Even more reason to consider Springer's MINA Journal for your best #microplastics manuscripts: the journal is approved for indexing by Scopus! See all the MINA articles via the link below..

New paper about standardized #microplastics effects & risk assessments! Key takeaways: (a) First community-level risk assessment, (b) Protocols for creating realistic polydisperse MPs, (c) Call for harmonized testing & better reference materials. bit.ly/3PHnB88

Tackling #microplastic pollution in soil requires a '#OneHealth' risk assessment framework, driven by standardized, high-quality exposure & effect data to shape effective policies. Collaboration is key! See bit.ly/40NNitN

How can we keep up with the explosion of #microplastic studies when carefully and time-consumingly screening data for relevance in risk assessment? Artificial Intelligence offers a solution! #AI (1/4) bit.ly/4hKKbJb
