Project Podcasts
Discovering how micro and nanoplastics can affect our immune cells
In this podcast, our guests discuss a study exploring how micro- and nanoplastics affect certain immune cells in the human body.
How are tire/tyre wear particles affecting our resistance to antibiotics?
Our podcasters discuss a hot-off-the-press research article exploring the potential impact of tire wear particles (TWPs), a significant source of microplastic pollution, on the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in aquatic ecosystems.
