After defending her thesis 'Improving the Realism and the Relevance of Microplastic Effect Tests' with Flying Colors: Congratulations Dr. Vera N. de Ruijter!

Something for you? We made a Massive Open Online Course (#MOOC) about #microplastics, #nanoplastics, #plastics, analysis, fate, transport, exposure, effects, risks, risk perception. And informative podcasts with key stakeholders! bit.ly/3IRuXlT

Do you enjoy haute cuisine? Here's a recipe for creating environmentally relevant #microplastics mixtures, along with instructions for their use in effect tests that comply with 20 QA/QC criteria. Say goodbye to those spooky alignments. By Vera de Ruijter bit.ly/3Pu7vi7

At the interface of science & policy. Working with @RIVM on the assessment of #microplastics risks in #soils !

Innovative work by @Rozita2020 from WUR @SLM & @MinagrisEU on MP vertical transport in different soil types. Including impressive particle transport modeling.
