Are the delegates carrying out research into the ecotoxicology aspect and the potential of these plastics to attract other chemicals? We have talked very much about the environmental impact, but we have not gone into the health impact of these particles in different products. In her presentation Ms Dean spoke about the industry taking voluntary action, which is to be welcomed, but in product design and innovation is it considering the health impact of plastics not only on humans but also environmentally?
