Health Impacts of Micro- and Nanoplastics
Funds research standardising how scientists detect and measure micro- and nanoplastics in the human body, and building evidence on their long-term health effects.
Health Impacts of Micro- and Nanoplastics is a European Commission grant that funds research standardising how scientists detect and measure micro- and nanoplastics in the human body, and building evidence on their long-term health effects. Stage one is scored on Excellence and Impact only, each needing at least 4 out of 5, and the combined cutoff is set so that proposals let through to stage two …
This call funds research into how micro- and nanoplastics enter and accumulate in the human body through inhalation, ingestion and skin contact, and what harm they cause. It wants better-standardised detection methods, realistic exposure models and human biomonitoring data covering both living and working environments.
