Toward Scalable Detection of Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Human Biological Systems: Alignment with STOMP Objectives and Preliminary Feasibility Data
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-

Interested in Urine Microplastics / Nanoplastics Product Development?
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
