| Abstract | Three online thematic workshops took place in the Spring of 2023. These are the proceedings from the 3rd workshop, organised by WG5 and PlasticsFatE on April 21st 2023, focusing on data and information gaps and titled: 'A practice-based analysis of data needs, availability, reuse and gaps for MNP-risk related tools'. An analysis of the risk associated with micro and nanoplastics (MNP) includes a number of aspects that should be considered. In addition to information about the material itself, its applications and its life cycle, it is necessary to analyze the hazard and exposure to enable a risk characterization. Different methods can be used for each part of the risk assessment process. For example, Integrated Approaches for Testing and Assessment (IATAs) for hazard assessment or Material Flow Analysis (MFA) to provide a basis for calculating Predicted Environmental Concentrations (PECs) to estimate exposure. A number of methods are being applied or newly developed in ongoing projects aimed at improving our understanding of the health effects of MNPs. Depending on which part of the risk assessment they belong to, they may require different kinds of input information. To this end, contributions from the CUSP projects and the EU project PAPILLONS on plastic in agricultural production provided an overview of their approaches along the following questions: 1. what methods are you developing (or applying) for risk analysis/risk assessment? 2. what type of data do you need? 3. are there any problems in collecting these data? 4. what sources do you use to obtain the data? In a structured discussion, we tried to determine if the methods are compatible with the available data or if there are gaps or even problems with the format or quality of the data. A second part of the discussion was devoted to ideas on how to solve the problems identified. Sometimes the data exist somewhere but are hard to find, not harmonized, and not centralized in a common database. In addition, the quality of the studies in which the data were generated also plays a role. These issues were addressed in two presentations in the second part of the workshop. In a final discussion we tried to concretize the further steps, taking into account the input from the second part of the workshop. |
