24. februar 2026
18.30–20.30 po srednjeevropskem času | Registracija se začne ob 17.00
Evropski parlament, Bruselj, Rue Wiertz 60, Belgija
Organizator konference: inž. Ondřej Knotek, poslanec Evropskega parlamenta, v sodelovanju z Globalnim raziskovalnim centrom ALLATRA (GRC ALLATRA)
O dogodku
Nanoplastika hitro postaja vseprisotna v našem okolju, vendar njeni vplivi ostajajo nezadostno raziskani. Ta konferenca preučuje, kako fizikalne lastnosti nanoplastike vplivajo na okolje, človekovo zdravje in podnebje.
Dogodek združuje strokovnjake s področij znanosti, medicine in javnih politik, da bi preučili, kako nanoplastika interagira z živimi organizmi in ekosistemi ter kako te interakcije vplivajo na zdravje ljudi in podnebje.
Namen konference je poudariti naraščajočo grožnjo, ki je trenutni regulativni okviri ne obravnavajo zadostno, ter podpreti informiran dialog, temelječ na dokazih, znotraj Evropskega parlamenta in zunaj njega.
Documentary: Nanoplastics. Threat to Life
"The main goal today isn't to stop plastic production, but to find ways to reduce the impact of micro- and nanoplastics on human health and the environment."
Nevidno onesnaževanje
Nanoplastika je zdaj prisotna povsod v okolju, vključno z zrakom, vodo, prstjo in prehranjevalnimi verigami. Zaznana je bila tudi v praktično vseh organih človeškega telesa, kar vzbuja resno zaskrbljenost glede njenih potencialnih dolgoročnih učinkov na človekovo zdravje in okolje.
Elektrostatične lastnosti
Nanoplastika lahko na svoji površini nosi elektrostatični naboj, kar omogoča interakcije s celičnimi strukturami in biološkimi sistemi, ki presegajo kemično toksičnost. Takšne lastnosti lahko na primer povečajo celični vnos in zadrževanje ter olajšajo prehajanje skozi zaščitne biološke pregrade.
Globalna skrb za zdravje
Nanoplastics can enter the human body through inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact. Studies have demonstrated that these particles may act as carriers for pathogens, induce oxidative stress, disrupt mitochondrial function, and cause DNA damage. Consequently, exposure to nanoplastics has been associated with increased risks of cancer, neurodegenerative conditions, cardiovascular disease, and reproductive and fertility disorders.
Implications for Climate
Nanoplastics in the atmosphere and oceans influence aerosol dynamics, cloud formation, and ocean–atmosphere heat exchange, affecting weather patterns and precipitation. Acting alongside natural geodynamic processes—such as tectonic activity, mantle convection, and long-term geological cycles— they increase vulnerability to climate extremes and natural disasters. Incorporating nanoplastics into climate and Earth-system models is essential for effective risk assessment and policy decisions.
The Cost of Inaction
If unaddressed, this overlooked factor could significantly amplify risks to the environment, human health, and climate, likely leading to substantial and escalating economic losses worldwide.
Call to Action
The growing prevalence of nanoplastics underscores the urgent need for greater public awareness, increased research funding and initiatives, open and globally inclusive interdisciplinary scientific collaboration, and comprehensive, forward-looking risk assessment frameworks.

Nanoplastics represent a grave and ongoing threat to human life. They damage the human body, affect pregnancy, and undermine the most fundamental aspects of human health. Despite the seriousness of this issue, it is still not being discussed with the urgency it deserves, and this silence must be broken.

"One of the essential things is the environment we live in, and plastic is one of the most important factors shaping it."
Dr. John Ahn, Ph.D., MBA, USA
Expert of ALLATRA Global Research Center on Climate, Geodynamics,
and Environmental Issues
"Many signs indicate that our planet's energy balance has been disrupted, and natural processes are intensifying exponentially. Consequently, we may have less and less time to respond, and nanoplastics are playing a key role in this acceleration."
RNDr. Jan Kára, PhD., Czech Republic
ALLATRA Global Research Center Expert on Climate, Geodynamics, and Nanoplastics
"Current studies indicate that the electrostatic charge of these plastic particles is a critical factor enabling their interaction with the surrounding environment, including living tissues."
ANNA KOTLYAR, Israel
Ecologist | Data Analyst
Environmental specialist with an interdisciplinary background in ecology and scientific research, applying data analysis to assess systemic environmental risks.
"Plastic pollution is not only what we see. The real danger lies in microscopic particles that interact with living systems at the cellular level, turning plastic into a systemic planetary risk."
ALEXANDER MASNY, Germany
Biochemist, MSc in Bioinformatics
Expert of ALLATRA Global Research Center on Geodynamics, Environmental Issues and Impact of Nano-/Microplastics
"Throughout the COP30 conference, we engaged with numerous delegates, scientists, and civil-society representatives, and we saw a clear readiness to consider this issue as a critical part of future climate and environmental policy conversations."

"Nanoplastics represent not only an environmental or public health concern, but a systemic risk to national and global security, as they undermine population resilience and economic stability. For this reason, focused attention from the international community, policymakers, and key institutions is urgently required."
Essential for Today's Leaders & Decision-Makers
Participants will gain comprehensive, science-based, and actionable insights into a major yet insufficiently recognized global risk, supporting informed decision-making across health, environmental, and climate policy domains.
Speakers
& Attendees
This conference is designed for policymakers, members of the academic and scientific community across diverse disciplines, industry stakeholders, and civil-society representatives engaged in addressing complex environmental and health challenges.
Media
& Community Engagement
Journalists and community leaders are cordially invited to participate in the conference and engage with speakers and attendees to help bring this critical issue to a broader public audience.
