【ANSO Collaborative Research Mid-term Progress】The Impact of Microplastics on Brain Health and Reproductive Health

Plastics including microplastics are now ubiquitous in our environment. According to data released by the United Nations, more than 400 million tons of plastics are produced globally each year, and tens of millions of tons of plastic waste flow into the oceans. Global initiative is required to solve the problem of plastic pollution. At the resumed fifth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-5.2) in 2022, UNEA Resolution 5/14 entitled “End plastic pollution: Towards an international legally binding instrument” was adopted to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution.
