SCIENCE. SOCIETY. FUTURE

ALLATRA is an international alliance of scientists, experts, and professionals from over 180 countries, working together on a volunteer basis with the goal to:

conduct comprehensive research on climate, geodynamic, and environmental risks

raise scientific awareness about these threats

foster multilateral cooperation in the search for sustainable solutions to global existential challenges

implement activities directed toward the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms

Key areas of focus

Climate and Geodynamics

Research and forecasting of climate and geodynamic threats. Analysis of their root causes, risk assessment, and development of effective strategies for addressing them.

Ecology and Health Risks

Evaluation of environmental risks to human health and the natural environment. In-depth study of anthropogenic influences, with a focus on micro- and nanoplastic: their spread in the environment, their effects on ecosystems, and their influence on human physiological processes.

Human Rights and Social Cohesion

Efforts to overcome division, promote intercultural and interfaith dialogue, and protect fundamental human rights and freedoms.

Nanoplastics
Threat to Life

Presented by ALLATRA Global Research Center, this research-based documentary brings together global scientific evidence on the impact of micro- and nanoplastics and presents it in an accessible, popular science format.

The film reveals how micro and nanoplastics have infiltrated every corner of the planet and every organ of the human body, including the brain, heart, bloodstream, and even the beginning of life itself.

ALLATRA GLOBAL RESEARCH CENTER REPORT

Nanoplastics.
A Systematic Risk Analysis for Human Health, Ecosystems, and the Environment

The relevance of the study is driven by the unprecedented global accumulation of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in the biosphere and the change of their physicochemical properties as they transition to micro- and nano size.
