Innovation in research on micro- and nanoplastics and their effects on human health
We are a multidisciplinary team with expertise in a wide range of fields including food sciences & technology, allergy, immunology, biomedicine, biology, chemistry, bioinformatics, machine learning, paediatrics and others, cooperating across Europe to investigate the relationship among micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) and allergic diseases.
The Project
Untangling the multifaceted relationship of exposure routes, risks and health impacts of MNPs.
Improving MNP detection
We plan to develop innovative tools to measure and characterize MNPs and potential contaminants in food, water and air.
MNPs combined with pollutants
We are committed to understanding the effect of MNPs combined with potentially harmful environmental contaminants adhering to their surfaces and finding their way into the human body.
The relationship with allergic diseases
We aim to examine a possible link between MNPs and their role in food allergy and allergic asthma.
