WE ARE a convergent team spanning engineering, public health, behavioral science, medicine, dissemination and implementation science, and communication, bringing together transdisciplinary expertise to address the complex challenges of micro- and nanoplastics and develop innovative, real-world solutions.
OUR MISSION is to advance micro- and nanoplastic science and translate discovery into public awareness, practical exposure-reduction strategies, and measurable improvements in public health.
WE ENVISION a world where micro- and nanoplastic exposure are well understood, individuals and communities have the knowledge and tools to reduce their exposure, and science informs policy and practice to protect human health.
WHAT are micro- & nano-plastics? WHY should I care? WHAT can I do?
Initial funding is provided by a Grand Challenges Catalyst Award from the Office of Research and Innovation at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
