"Plastics take a heavy toll on both human and environmental health. We know that micro-and nano-plastics are present in our air, water, and soil, as well as at every level of the food chain. We also know that these tiny bits of plastic are present inside all of us. Researchers have found micro- and nano-plastics in the human intestine, placenta, liver, spleen, lungs, and lymph node tissues, as well as in blood and breast milk. Many of the toxic chemicals added to plastics including PFAS, phthalates, and bisphenols are also present in the bodies of nearly all Americans.
"We are excited to welcome Dr. Philip J. Landrigan, a world-renowned pediatrician, public health physician, and epidemiologist for this free educational webinar on May 2. Dr. Landrigan is at the forefront of exploring what our ever-increasing exposure to plastics means for our health and longevity as well as how we can reduce our exposure. And since knowledge is power, I hope you will please share the invitation to this free educational webinar with your networks, healthcare providers, elected officials, friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors."
