About this event
JOIN US FOR A PRESENTATION ON MICROPLASTICS
Meeting link will be emailed after registration
SPEAKER: Dannelle Belhateche
In November 2024, EPA released a new national strategy to protect human health and the environment throughout the plastics manufacturing/use/disposal lifecycle, while many states are moving forward with developing and implementing their own microplastics regulations in the absence of federal action. The EPA has also received petitions from numerous non-governmental organizations to add microplastics limits to the Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water Acts. This presentation will provide useful background information about what microplastics are, their fate and transport in the environment, emerging new health concerns, and potential strategies for mitigation and abatement in order to better prepare today’s environmental professionals for potential projected future microplastics regulation and enforcement.
