Microplastics are everywhere – in water, food, air and even our bodies. But are microplastics as scary as some news headlines would have us believe?
In this episode of the It Stars With… podcast, David Boldeman chats with science journalist Ellen Phiddian about microplastics.
Ellen gives us the latest facts and figures on microplastics: where they’ve been found and how much have polluted our planet.
Everywhere microplastics have been found – oceans, soil and even the human body – scientists are beginning to build a picture of the damage they can cause to the ecosystem and organisms that encounter the tiny fragments.
Understanding these microscopic fragments of plastic – where they come from, why they don’t break down, where they’re appearing, how they affect organisms – is the key to being able to resolve an increasingly complex environmental and health problem brought on by their proliferation.
