Bart Koelmans of @WageningenUR affirms that precautionary principle could help the #RiskAssessment of micro- & nano-plastics.
In parallel, more research is needed to develop diverse methods to predict #MNPs effects on human health, to be able to better model the exposure risks.

La llegada masiva de #pélets de plástico ha vuelto a poner en el foco la contaminación ambiental por plásticos. Pero ¿por qué es tan difícil evaluar su toxicidad? @p_hassel (@IMDEA_Agua) y @Carledcu (@UAHes) nos lo explican:

A fully aligned (🍎to🍎) #riskAssessment based on large-scale monitoring of #microplastics in the #Amazon finds exceedances of HC5 in 20% urban streams, but no risk in Amazon River and tributaries.

Preliminary risk assessment of #tireWearParticles indicate unacceptable effects likely in Europe, with predicted environmental concentrations higher than predicted no-effect concentrations for all locations and matrices.

Aligning all data to a common size distribution (1-5,000 um) using methods and probability distributions from @MicroplasticLab shows a different story 👀.
