from The Research Collective · host Decoding Public Health Research & Empowering Healthy Lifestyles.

They’re invisible to the naked eye but everywhere —from the depths of the ocean to the food on your plate. In this episode, we dive into the world of microplastics: what they are, how they’re infiltrating our environment, and why scientists are raising red flags about their impact on human health. From disrupting hormones to polluting entire ecosystems, microplastics might be small but their consequences are anything but. Join us as we unpack the science, the risks, and what we can do to protect ourselves and the planet.
