Abstract : Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are increasingly detected in human blood, urine, and tissues, yet scalable, non-destructive methods for routine systemic exposure measurement remain unavailable. Current laboratory techniques are destructive, low-throughput, and unsuitable for longitudinal or population-scale monitoring. The ARPA-H STOMP program identifies scalable measurement, mechanistic insight, and eventual removal as priority needs. Here we describe a non-

ecotera health is currently developing a simple, non-invasive method to measure microplastics and nanoplastics in human biological samples, beginning with urine. This work builds on our existing environmental monitoring platform and aims to enable scalable measurement of environmental exposure in everyday populations. We are now moving into the next phase of product development by collecting initial real-world human samples to help refine the prototype. We are inviting a smal

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool in various fields, particularly in healthcare and environmental science. The integration of AI-driven diagnostics is not just a trend; it represents a significant transformation in how we approach health and environmental challenges. By leveraging vast amounts of data and advanced algorithms, AI is reshaping our understanding of diseases, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing environmental monito

Microplastics have emerged as a significant environmental concern, infiltrating ecosystems and human health in ways that are only beginning to be understood. These tiny plastic particles, less than five millimeters in size, are found in everything from the air we breathe to the food we eat. As research progresses, the implications of microplastics on health are becoming clearer, prompting scientists and health professionals to explore new frontiers in health science. Understa

The intersection of biotechnology and environmental health is becoming increasingly vital as we confront the challenges posed by climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. Innovative biotechnology solutions are emerging as powerful tools to address these pressing issues, offering sustainable alternatives to traditional methods. This blog post explores various biotechnological advancements that are making a significant impact on environmental health, highlighting their
