    The concept of "microplastics" was first proposed in 2004, microplastics are plastic particles with a diameter of less than 5 mm, known as "PM2.
    5 in the ocean", and the United Nations Environment Programme has also listed microplastics as a global new pollutant
    .
    In March 2022, microplastic pollution was detected in human blood for the first time; In April, microplastics were first found deep in the lungs of living people; In June, microplastics were first detected in new snowfall in Antarctica; In September, a certain number and different types of microplastic and dye particles
    were first identified in human blood clot samples.
     
    China also began the treatment of microplastics early, in 2007 China launched the monitoring of marine litter, in 2016 marine microplastics were officially included in the monitoring scope
    .
    In addition, a series of policies and regulations have been issued in recent years to continue to strengthen the governance of microplastics, such as the Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution in September 2019 and the New Pollutant Control Action Plan in May 2022
    .

     
    Recently, in order to actively respond to the important strategic deployment of plastic pollution, further strengthen basic research, and promote the scientificity and accuracy of pollution prevention and control, the Basic Science Section of the National Natural Science Foundation of China has launched the special project "Environmental Chemical Behavior and Effects of Microplastics", and released the 2022 National Natural Science Foundation of China special project "Environmental Chemical Behavior and Effects of Microplastics" project guide (hereinafter referred to as the "Project Guide"
    ).

     
    The "Project Guide" points out the scientific objectives: in view of the major national needs and key scientific issues of microplastic pollution prevention and control, carry out systematic research on detection methods, interface behavior, migration and transformation, ecological and health effects, etc.
    , jointly tackle key problems, make breakthroughs in new methods, new theories and new understandings, lead the frontier research of basic science in the field of microplastics, and provide scientific basis and theoretical basis
    for ensuring the ecological environment and human health.

     
    The Project Guidelines clearly address the formation and mechanism of microplastics in the environment, and the ecotoxicity and health effects of microplastics
    .
    It is also pointed out that the research direction and research content to be funded are, first, the detection methods and pollution characteristics of microplastics in the environment, second, the interface chemical behavior of microplastics in the environment, third, the toxicity and health effects of microplastics in the environment, and fourth, the reduction and control principle
    of microplastics in the environment.

     
    In addition, the Project Guidelines also provide a detailed explanation
    of the funding plan, application requirements and precautions.
    Please refer to the Annex for details of the
    Project Guide document.
