She has recently completed a major research project studying microplastics in all food commodities, including bivalve molluscs. She will present a paper setting out an important study undertaken by FAO which estimates the risks of dietary exposure to micro- and nanoplastics, principally due to the additives used in plastic manufacture and sorb contaminants.
