鈥淲e are exposed to microplastics every day, but what does that mean for our (brain) health?
Emma Kasteel (PhD, ERT) is an assistant professor at IRAS. She earned her PhD in 2021 on Next Generation Risk Assessment of Chemicals, focusing on alternative (in vitro/in silico) methods for toxicity testing. Currently, she works within the project, investigating the human health effects of micro- and nanoplastics. Her research specifically explores whether these particles can cross the blood-brain barrier and the potential neurotoxic effects they may cause.
