In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana explore a thought-provoking comparison: are today’s plastic water systems the modern equivalent of the Roman Empire’s lead pipes? Drawing from a recent Echo River Capital article, the episode dives into growing evidence that plastic pipes leach microplastics, nanoplastics, and PFAS into drinking water—with potential consequences for brain health, plant life, and food security. Jordan and Lana break down the science, discuss practical steps to reduce exposure, and spotlight innovative companies tackling the plastic crisis.
