Researchers publish the first harmonized exposure protocol for ecotoxicity testing of micro- and nano-plastics
Published in Nature Protocols and led by the University of Eastern Finland, an international team of researchers has published the first harmonized exposure protocol for ecotoxicity testing of microplastics and nanoplastics.Plastic pollution has become a significant environmental and human health issue at a global scale. Yet, despite increasing concern over the harmful effects of micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs), no harmonized guidelines or protocols for their ecotoxicity testing have been available to date. Current ecotoxicity studies often use commercial spherical particles as models for
