Project description:
The project “Microplastics: Understanding public perceptions in the area of food and feed safety and improvement of relevant risk communication” is funded by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for a period of one and a half years (Partnership Agreement No GP/EFSA/AMU/2020/02) and is jointly carried out by BfR and EFSA. Further subject-specific assistance to the project is provided by the department “Environmental Psychology” (Prof. Dr. Sabine Pahl) of the University of Vienna.
The project aims at assessing and comparatively analyzing public perceptions and beliefs on the topic of microplastics with regard to the environment and human health for Germany and Italy. Against the background of the Mental Models approach, qualitative guided interviews and quantitative population-wide surveys are conducted in both countries. Based on the results, recommendations for risk communication with regard to microplastics will be derived.
