Instead, it breaks down into ever smaller pieces, as everything from nurdle spills at sea to a nylon shirt tossed into the trash eventually becomes microplastic. These tiny particles are insidious new pollutants colonizing the planet, from food to water to the air itself. Scientists are just beginning to uncover how microplastics might threaten health, but each new study is more alarming. On this episode, we’re joined by Matt Simon, a science writer for Wired and author of A Poison Like No Other: How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies. Here, we discuss the shocking extent of microplastic pollution and the far-reaching consequences for human and animal health. We’ll find out what makes these tiny particles so dangerous, how they’ve spread to every corner of Earth, and solutions to stem the tide of plastic. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
