PlasticsFatE - New European project investigates health effects of plastic particles on humans

Researching the effects of plastic particles on the human body and developing a health policy strategy for assessing the resulting risks is the goal of the new European research network PlasticsFatE. The University of Bayreuth, together with 26 other universities, institutes, and organisations from ten EU member states, is participating in the project. BayCEER member Christian Laforsch is leader of the research project in Bayreuth. The project was launched on 28 April 2021 at a virtual kick-off event for its partners.
