Manage episode 519946363 series 3303135
You’re probably heard the term “microplastics.” And you’ve probably also heard that they’re bad for you.
A write up from Stanford Medicine says, quote, “they’re in the water we drink, the food we eat, the clothes we wear and the air we breathe.”
But what exactly are they?
A local doctor is helping us understand what exactly these particals are, and how or if we should avoid them.
GUEST:
- Dr. Sheela Sathyanarayana, a professor of pediatrics and adjunct professor of environmental and occupational health sciences at the University of Washington and the Seattle Children's Research Institute
