A high-level international conference, “Nanoplastics: Hidden Connections and Emerging Risks,” was held on February 24, 2026, at the European Parliament in Brussels. The event brought together experts in science, medicine, and public policy to discuss the growing risks of nanoplastics for human health, ecosystems, and climate stability.
The conference was organized by Member of the European Parliament Ondřej Knotek, in cooperation with the ALLATRA Global Research Center.
The discussions focused on how nanoplastics can penetrate biological barriers, carry pathogens and toxic substances, damage cells and DNA, and potentially influence atmospheric and ocean processes that affect weather and precipitation. Experts warned that ignoring nanoplastics as a systemic risk may potentially lead to serious environmental damage, higher public-health costs, and global economic losses.
