About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours
  • ALL AGES
  • No venue parking

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPLs) are now part of our environment—and increasingly, part of our bodies. But what does this mean for you? The final conference of the EU-funded PlasticHeal project explores how this issue affects different sectors and what we can do about it.

  • If you are a healthcare professional, learn how MNPLs affect vulnerable patients and discover ways to better protect public health.
  • If you work in public administration or policymaking, explore how research findings can inform regulations to safeguard people and the environment.
  • If you represent a company or work in the industrial sector, understand how to improve workplace safety and develop more sustainable, health-conscious products.
  • If you are an educator or member of civil society, access innovative tools to raise awareness and inspire action in your community.

Join us to bridge the gap between research and action and help tackle this global challenge.
