Professor Kevin Thomas from UQ’s Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences spoke to AAP about the Minderoo Centre- Plastics and Human Health.
Professor Kevin Thomas, Centre Director of UQ’s Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences spoke with The Guardian about the plastic-free lab researching how plastic absorption occurs and if it is harming humans.
In one of the world’s first plastics contamination-controlled laboratories, University of Queensland researchers have begun testing blood and tissue samples to develop ways to detect and measure nanoplastics in the human body.
Labelling of plastic products needs a drastic overhaul including a new "sustainability scale" to help consumers, according to research from The University of Queensland and University of Exeter.
The Minderoo Foundation has partnered with The University of Queensland to understand if micro and nano plastics and the plastic chemicals which leach out of plastic products are found in the human body.
