Microplastics and Health Webinar Series: Webinar 1 – Methodologies for appropriate and improved sampling, analysis, characterization, monitoring, and reporting of microplastics

Date/Time: Thursday, 27 February 2025, 11:30 – 13:00 EST

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Environmental Health Matters Iniative, in collaboration with the Roundtable on Plastics, is hosting a new webinar series on Microplastics and Health.  Register here to join us for an interactive discussion on human exposure to and related health effects of microplastics.

This webinar aims to promote awareness and provide a standard baseline understanding of microplastics’ critical characteristics and associated future research direction. Specifically, speakers and panelists will highlight best practices and considerations for the collection, measurement, and characterization of microplastics in different media. They will also explore the latest scientific findings that could enhance the comparability, reproducibility, and transparency of future microplastic research, providing crucial insights to inform downstream decision-making.
