This is the verdict of SAPEA’s Evidence Review Report on micro- and nanoplastic pollution, published in January 2019. The report is written by a group of world-leading experts nominated by academies across Europe, and informs the forthcoming Scientific Opinion from the European Commission’s Group of Chief Scientific Advisors.
The report comprehensively examines the best available evidence from the natural sciences and computer modelling, as well as social, political and behavioural sciences. Its key conclusions are:
As SAPEA’s work on microplastics is published and disseminated throughout 2019 and beyond, its impact on the microplastics debate will be recorded here.
SAPEA’s work on microplastics will be presented and discussed at a range of events for researchers, policy-makers and the general public in 2019. The list below will be updated throughout the year.
