SUMMARY:Potential Endocrine Disrupting Effects of Microplastics in Human Pl
 acenta and Aquatic Life
DESCRIPTION:This webinar features two scientists who research the endocrine
 -disrupting effects of microplastics. Imari Walker\, a PhD candidate (anti
 cipated thesis defense 11/2021) at Duke University’s Pratt School of Eng
 ineering\, will discuss her research on how EDCs are released from plastic
  debris into seabird and fish gastric fluid\, and the estrogenic effects o
 f these chemicals. She uses various tools including non-targeted analysis\
 , suspect screening\, and in vivo assays to quantify and predict the risk 
 of these chemicals and determine causal contaminants promoting the estroge
 nic effects. The title of her talk is\, “Characterization of endocrine-d
 isrupting chemicals released into simulated gastric fluid utilizing non-ta
 rgeted analysis coupled with in vitro bioassays.”
