Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are a significant concern in aquatic environments, affecting biota as complex mixtures. However, the consequences of environmentally realistic MNPs exposures are poorly understood, and suitable data for high-quality risk assessments are limited. Most field research and toxicity testing has focused on micron size ranges, leaving knowledge gaps in understanding smaller nanoplastics (< 1µm). Furthermore, to quantify the scale of MNP effects, a broader approach is needed, considering plastics complexity and other environmental stressors, such as climate change. This session’s goal was to discuss MNPs effects assessment under a broader framework to provide suitable data for improved risk assessments. |
