Are Microplastics a Macro Problem?
On this week’s episode of the pod, Jess is joined by not one but TWO toxicologists to discuss microplastics. The episode kicks off with a recap of some of the claims being made about microplastics that we’ve seen splashed all over the headlines. The team discusses just how prevalent and ubiquitous microplastics really are and some of the main sources of microplastics. Next, they dive into the evidence (or lack thereof) that microplastics have an impact on human health. The trio discusses our current technologies and abilities to detect microplastics, as well as their limitations and implications for future research. Finally, they discuss potential mitigation measures and ways to limit exposure. You won’t want to miss this!
