[Webinar] Nano- and Microplastics in the Air: Where Do They Come From and Where Are They Found? – November 16, 2026

Event Description:

This webinar will be held on Monday, November 16, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., online, organized by the APPA (Association for the Prevention of Air Pollution).

Long studied in oceans and aquatic environments, nano- and microplastics are now being detected in the air we breathe: carried by the wind and exposed to solar radiation, plastics break down into particles of various sizes, often invisible to the naked eye.

The session provides an overview of the current state of scientific knowledge regarding their presence in the atmosphere (main sources, circulation between the air, water, and soil, and measurement methods) and combines presentations by researchers with insights from the AQAH project led by Atmo Hauts-de-France.

The event will be led by Maurice Millet (University of Strasbourg), along with Stéphanie Devineau (University of Paris Cité) and Arabelle Patron-Anquez (Atmo Hauts-de-France).
