Welcome to "Plastic Planet: Unveiling the Hidden Health Threat." I'm your host, and in this podcast, we dive deep into the microscopic world of microplastics, exposing the alarming health effects they pose to both our planet and ourselves. Microplastics, those tiny particles less than 5 millimeters in size, have stealthily made their way into our food, water, and even the air we breathe. We uncover the potential dangers of these invisible invaders as they infiltrate our bodies, exploring their pathways through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal absorption. From their presence in our organs to the potential transfer of toxic chemicals, we unravel the latest research and share insights from experts. Join us as we confront the urgent need to address microplastics' impact on our health and pave the way towards a cleaner, healthier future.
