A micro- and nano-plastic test material repository available nationally for researchers working on microplastics and nanotoxicology: This will facilitate research into adverse outcome pathways and underlying mechanisms of toxicity, which is often hindered by a lack of test particle availability.This will also ensure synergy in the particle properties being tested, which are otherwise subject to gross variation. To maximise usage, it will be widely advertised through partner networks, by word of mouth, conference presentations, social media and email to relevant societies and networks (e.g., UK Microplastics Network, British Toxicological Society). Being at the forefront of microplastics research and championing the use of reference material to encourage consistency across studies and ultimately scientific rigour will further raise the profile of the Toxicology Unit.

为从事微塑料和纳米毒理学研究的研究人员提供全国性的微塑料和纳米塑料测试材料库：这将有助于研究不良后果途径和潜在的毒性机制，这通常会受到缺乏测试颗粒可用性的阻碍，这也将确保被测颗粒特性的协同作用，否则会受到严重影响。为了最大限度地提高使用率，将通过合作伙伴网络、口口相传、会议演示、社交媒体和电子邮件向相关社团和网络（例如，英国微塑料网络，英国毒理学学会）。站在微塑料研究的最前沿，倡导使用参考材料，以鼓励研究的一致性，并最终提高科学的严谨性，这将进一步提高毒理学部门的知名度。
