Micro and Nano-plastic Particles in Food: Advancing Science to Safeguard Human Health

OSF Preprints (OSF Preprints) 2025
Christie Maria Sayes

Summary

This research proposal outlines a study to characterize micro- and nanoplastic exposure levels in commonly consumed foods in the United States, developed in response to an IFANS funding call. The proposed work combines advanced analytical methods to build a comprehensive dietary exposure database for regulatory and public health risk assessment.

This proposal is in response to the RFP issued by the Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Sciences titled “Exposure Characterization of Micro- and Nanoplastics in Foods”. The proposed work's principal investigator (PI) is Dr. Christie M. Sayes, PhD. Sayes is a practicing research scientist, consultant, and academician in material science, chemistry, toxicology, and environmental health. She is an Environmental Science Professor at Baylor University (Waco, Texas). However, this project plan is submitted through her consulting firm, CS Consulting. Sayes is a subject matter expert in the chemistry of materials. She will work collaboratively with her team of investigators and the experts within IAFNS
