The Pollution Effect with Dr. Shanna Swan and Professor Jasmine McDonald

from The Coolest Show

When most people think about climate change, they picture melting glaciers or rising seas. But what if the climate crisis isn’t just happening around us? What if it’s happening inside us? What if the same pollution warming the planet is also disrupting our hormones, our fertility, and the future of our children? This episode features Dr. Shanna Swan and Professor Jasmine McDonald — two leading scientists whose research connects chemical exposure, plastics, reproductive health, cancer risk, and environmental justice. And through the Netflix documentary The Plastic Detox and ongoing public engagement, their work is reaching living rooms across the world. The Coolest Show – brought to you by Hip Hop Caucus – features conversations on environmental justice and how we solve the climate crisis. Listen and subscribe here or at TheCoolestShow.com!
