This initiative, part of the Environmental Health Research Contribution programme, aims to deepen the understanding of how microplastics affect human health. The research will be conducted by McGill University, Memorial University of Newfoundland, and the University of Toronto.<br \/>\nThe universities will investigate potential microplastic exposure from various sources, including food, packaging, drinking water, and dust.<\/p>\n<p>Canada Minister of Health Mark Holland said: \u201cThere is a lot we don\u2019t know about the effect of microplastics on human health. \u201cThat is why programmes like this one were created \u2013 to support Canadian scientists in improving the understanding of the human health impacts of microplastics. \u201cThese projects will not only expand our knowledge but hopefully inspire more research and inform future actions to protect the health of Canadians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Microplastics come from various sources such as microfibres released from washing clothes, microbeads from wastewater, and others.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/news\/canada-microplastics-funding-research\/\">Packaging Gateway<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-466\/\">Canada funds microplastics health university research<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1544,575,902],"class_list":["post-124829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-canada","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-microplastics"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124829\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
