Recent evidence of increasing accumulation of micro- and nanoplastics (MnP) in soils and groundwater raise severe concerns by agricultural andwater industries, food manufacturers, regulators, environmental interest groups and citizens. Private and public sectors require detailedunderstanding of environmental and public health risks posed by MnP in soils and groundwater. The PlasticUnderground Doctoral Networkcreates supra-disciplinary intersectoral capacity for analysing the fate, transport and impacts of MnP in soils and groundwater to develop solutionsfor reducing their environmental and public health risks, supporting the EC's circular plastic economy strategy. The central aim of thePlasticUnderground Doctoral Network is to deliver international scientific excellence through a holistic supra-disciplinary and inter-sectoralresearch and training network on solutions to the emerging crisis of MnP pollution in subsurface ecosystems in soils and groundwater, integratingknowledge across traditional discipline boundaries to benefit the public and private sectors. The supra-disciplinary research programme includesunique training opportunities for a cohort of 10 Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) (plus one individually funded through ETHZ as AssociatedCountry partner) in environmental and social science, ecotoxicology, soil science and aquatic ecology, analytical chemistry, agronomy, datascience and numerical modelling as well as responsible innovation, method standardization for use in regulatory decision making and riskassessment. The integrated training programme will prepare ESRs with skill sets that are urgently required in agricultural, water, chemical, andmanufacturing industries, environmental and regulatory agencies, academia, and the public sector and includes training provision by keystakeholders that will directly benefit from the training in this network.

最新的证据表明，在土壤和地下水中微塑料（MNP）积累的增加引起了农业和水工业，食品制造商，监管机构，环境利益集团和公民的严重关注。私营部门和公共部门需要详细了解MNP在土壤和地下水中带来的环境和公共卫生风险。塑料地面博士网络库存跨学科的层间能力，用于分析土壤和地下水中MNP的命运，运输和影响，以开发解决方案，以降低其环境和公共卫生的风险，从而支持EC的循环塑料经济战略。塑性界地面博士网络的核心目的是通过整体上学科和部门研究和培训网络通过在土壤和地下水中的地下生态系统中新兴危机的解决方案提供国际科学卓越，并通过跨传统学科边界整合公共和私人私人派系的综合性。 The supra-disciplinary research programme includesunique training opportunities for a cohort of 10 Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) (plus one individually funded through ETHZ as AssociatedCountry partner) in environmental and social science, ecotoxicology, soil science and aquatic ecology, analytical chemistry, agronomy, datascience and numerical modelling as well as responsible innovation, method standardization for use in regulatory decision making and riskassessment.综合培训计划将为ESR准备，以农业，水，化学和制造工业，环境和监管机构，学术界和公共部门迫切需要的技能准备，并包括关键基础相关者的培训提供，这些培训将直接从该网络中的培训中受益。
