Listen "Everything You Should Know About Microplastics"
Episode Synopsis
Microplastics have been found in human placentas, testicles, brains, and more, so what happens now? In this episode, we talk with Matthew Campen, Regents’ Professor in the UNM Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, about what these findings mean for our health, how we can (or can't) find avoid microplastics, and what happens next. Then we hear from Eliane El Hayek, Research Assistant Professor in the UNM Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, about ongoing research into the environmental impacts of plastics.
