FHERITALE Stakeholder Meeting Report

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) 2026
Elisa Murgioni

Summary

This isn't a new health study — it's a meeting report summarizing a 2026 Brussels event where European scientists, industry, and regulators discussed how to better research micro- and nanoplastics (tiny plastic particles from broken-down waste that can end up in our food, water, and even bodies). The takeaway for consumers: rather than new findings about health risks, this report highlights that experts are working to coordinate research efforts and set priorities so we can get clearer, more reliable answers about how these particles affect our health in the future.

The FHERITALE Stakeholder Event, held in Brussels on 26 May 2026, brought together representatives of European Research Infrastructures (RIs), academia, industry, regulatory organisations and European initiatives to discuss currentchallenges and future priorities related to micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) and other artificial materials. This report summarises the aims and outcomes of the meeting, as well as discussions which took place.
