These small plastic particles are considered emerging ecological and human health threats but we are facing multifaceted challenges in understanding the environmental fates, biological effects, and impacts of MNPs. In this seminar, Dr. Xu will share his recent findings on the environmental occurrence, exposures, biological effects, and toxicity mechanisms of MNPs, highlighting what is not but should be known to stimulate research in this field.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5206 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.people-network.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/c-users-elvis-desktop-sdu-elvis-genbo-xu-credit.jpeg\" alt=\"C:UsersElvisDesktopSDUElvis Genbo Xu - Credit \u00a9 Jacob Fredegaard Hansen (@jacobfh)10.jpg\" width=\"124\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.people-network.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/c-users-elvis-desktop-sdu-elvis-genbo-xu-credit.jpeg 259w, https:\/\/www.people-network.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/c-users-elvis-desktop-sdu-elvis-genbo-xu-credit-201x300.jpeg 201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 124px) 100vw, 124px\" \/>Bio<\/strong>: Dr. Elvis Genbo Xu is a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Environmental Toxicology and Sapere Aude Research Leader at the University of Southern Denmark, Denmark.
