TY - CONF A1 - Ciornii, Dmitri A1 - Hodoroaba, Vasile-Dan A1 - Altmann, Korinna T1 - Micro- and Nanoplastics: from physico-chemical properties to reference products N2 - In this presentation we demonstrate the importance of physico-chemical properties (pc) of micro- and nanoplastic particles (MNPs). These properties determine interaction between MNPs and cells or living organisms. To perform accurate experiments for acquiring pc information it is essential to develop well-characterized and understood plastic reference materials. Such reference materials can be used in interlaboratory comparisons (ILCs). BAM is organizing under VAMAS two ILCs, on micro- and nanoplastics to obtain reliable results and methodologies for pc characterization of MNPs. By gaining profound knowledge on pc properties it becomes possible to estimate the impact of MNPs on the humans and environment and therefore to translate the knowledge to the level of regulation.
