Antimicrobial resistance affects human and animal health because it causes untreatable infections. Read which research ZonMw is funding. - Micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) are widespread pollutants in the environment, including our food. MNPs that are in contact with a complex matrix, like food or intestinal digestive juices, will be covered with a biofilm of biomolecules, the biomolecular corona. Proteins in the biocorona are known to modify the intestinal uptake of MNPs. This can have adverse human health effects. Very limited data is…

View the 2 ZonMw grant calls about the risks of exposure to microplastics and nanoplastics. Submit a research proposal before 9 May 2023. - The analysis of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) is challenging. This is due to the fact that MNPs are present at low concentrations in complex matrices, as well as the broad range of synthetic polymers and size ranges. It is important to develop a standardized and robust approach to accurately quantify and characterize MNPs.GoalThe researchers want to develop knowledge about the chemical…
- Micro- and nanoplastics (MNP) are a health and environmental concern but little is known about the extent of the problem. Current analytical techniques are unable to reliably quantify MNP in environmental matrices. This is of societal importance to understand the concentrations we are exposed to and devise mitigation strategies.GoalIn this study, the factors will be identified that disturb current…
