Sustainability Day at RIVM: Microplastics

Today, October 10th is national Sustainability Day in the Netherlands. At RIVM, committed to health and sustainability, we raise awareness for sustainability with this year’s theme microplastics. There has been a rapid increase in the number of scientific publications on the distribution of microplastics. However, there is still much unknown about the effects of microplastics on people and the environment. Policymakers are aware of the urgency to take measures even before all the knowledge gaps are filled.
