This publication provides a recap of the online symposium ‘Microplastics and human health research in The Netherlands’ that was held on 4 November 2021. About one hundred researchers and policymakers exchanged knowledge about the latest research results from fifteen breakthrough projects within the ZonMw research programme ‘Microplastics and Health’. Attention was also paid to MOMENTUM… - 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…
- Bacteriophages and plasmids are often specific to a particular source, this project will investigate how CRISPR dynamics are related to environmental niche adaptation and recalibrate source attribution models.
- Read how is investigated wastewater treatment plant employees and local residents are more likely to carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
- Read how researchers will use genome sequencing to study the fungal genus Candida in hospitals to limit its transmission.
- Cryptosporidium is a unicellular parasite that can cause intestinal inflammation and diarrhea in humans and animals. New typing methods will be applied to gain insight into the types of Cryptosporidium.
- The microplastics project MOMENTUM 3.0 fosters collaboration with multiple stakeholders and knowledge transfer to support strategies that protect human health.
- Investigations into Aspergillus fumigatus and the treatment are underway both nationally and internationally and will lead to advisory reports. This project will organize a stakeholder meeting to further results.
- Read how the application of ‘low value nursing care’ interventions helps to improve appropriate nursing care for the elderly.
- Maternal vaccination effectively protects infants against infectious diseases directly after birth, this study compares transplacental antibody transfer after maternal vaccination
- This project develops an accurate screening and surveillance of yeasts to be prepared for the emergence of Candida auris.
