Скачать или смотреть Plastic Health Summit 2021 - Prof. Dr. Dick Vethaak

Prof. Vethaak introduces the topic of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) and human health. He goes into the extent of our exposure to MNPs and explains why plastic pollution is a potential public health hazard. By summarising current evidence he shows us knowledge gaps in this rapidly emerging field.

Besides this, Vethaak speaks about the research work done under ZonMW (Dutch organisation for health research) and presents major results for the first pilot projects. Lastly, Vethaak introduces the concept of ONE HEALTH, the notion that plastic pollution poses interconnected risks to public health, animal health and ecosystem health, and the need to apply a One Health approach to plastic health challenges.
