SciRAPplastic and plasticCRED: tailoring existing tools to assess micro- and nanoplastics (eco)toxicity studies

There is a rapid increase in scientific studies on the environmental and health effects of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs), with potential to inform risk assessment. However, regulatory uptake of scientific evidence depends on the reliability and relevance, often referred to as the regulatory adequacy, of the studies. This regulatory adequacy may be challenged by, for example, insufficient characterization of test materials, and lack of transparency and reporting in experimental setup, methods, and analytics. While frameworks exist for evaluating the regulatory adequacy of (eco)toxicity data for chemicals and nanomaterials, they do not fully account for the unique characteristics and challenges associated with MNPs. Therefore, there is a need to provide further guidance specifically tailored to MNP studies. The aim of this …
