Our exposure to micro and nano-plastic particles may result from the widespread use of plastic products and their release into the environment, where they degrade and enter our food chains, air, and water.
PlasticsFatE (Plastics Fate and Effects in the human body) is creating a comprehensive measurement programme to improve our present understanding of the impact of these particles and associated contaminants in the human body. This will inform a risk assessment strategy to support the health-relevant aims of the EU strategies for plastics. PlasticsFatE is a 48-month project funded by the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme of the European Union. The project will run from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2025.

- A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
- A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
