Plastics Have Infiltrated the Human Brain
Micro- and nanoplastics can enter the human body through the mouth, nose, and skin. From there, these particles can travel via the bloodstream to any organ in the body, including the brain. Learn more about the negative impacts these plastic shards have on the brain.
Reduce Your Exposure to Microplastics
Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic that are found everywhere — in our oceans, lakes, streams, drinking water, soil, plants, fish, sea birds, most foods we eat, in the air, and in all of our bodies. Data is emerging that links these particles with a host of health harms. Learn how to reduce your exposure.
