Webinar #4 on Micro-/Nanoplastics
The "Webinar #4 on Micro-/Nanoplastics" took place on 11 June 2026, from 2:00 - 3:45 p.m. CEST (9:00 - 10:45 a.m. EDT).
This webinar brought together leading experts to examine the fate, transport, and impacts of microplastics, the role of environmental processes such as sediment remobilization, and how insights from nanoparticle research can inform risk assessment, monitoring, and policy responses.
