Event:
Nano and Microplastics in Our Food: Should We Be Concerned?

Join Conservation Nebraska on May 5th for an in-depth presentation exploring the inner workings of microplastics and nanoplastics in our everyday lives.

Dr. Kazi Albab Hussain, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln, will explain how plastic containers, food pouches, and even laser-treated surfaces shed microscopic particles, raising health concerns. With a strong background in water quality, heavy metal contamination, and nanoparticle science, Dr. Hussain is at the forefront of understanding pollution on the tiniest of scales.

Don't miss this chance to learn how microplastics impact you—and what we can do about it.

Dr. Kazi Albab Hussain is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. He specializes in the release of nano and microplastics from plastic packaging under real-life conditions. His research employs experimental studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses to focus on the implications of nano and microplastic ingestion for human health.

He holds a PhD in Civil Engineering (Water Resources) from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, a Master’s in Civil Engineering (Environmental Engineering) from Florida Atlantic University, and a Bachelor’s in Soil, Water, and Environment from the University of Dhaka. His work has contributed to a deeper understanding of human exposure to microplastics and nanoparticles.
