Plastic on Your Plate?

PFAS and microplastics are two of the most talked-about contaminants in our food, water, and environment, but what do we really know about them, and why should we care? In this podcast, host Dennis Baffour-Awuah brings together voices from research and practice to discuss the science, the risks, and the realities behind these invisible threats. Featuring Dr. Sarah White, Professor and Nursery Extension Specialist at Clemson University, and Masoud Yazdanpanah, a researcher at the University of Georgia, the episode explores what PFAS and microplastics are, how they affect our health and ecosystems, what consumers should consider in their daily choices, and where policy and research need to step in. From everyday food decisions to the future of environmental protection, this podcast breaks down complex science into clear, engaging conversations that matter for all of us.
