11:23Now PlayingMicroplastics are tiny pieces of plastic that result when larger pieces are broken down. And they are everywhere. They’re in our oceans and mountains; they’re in our food; they’re in our blood. And now, according to a new study published last month, they’ve even been found in clouds. What’s the impact of these ubiquitous materials on our health and on our environment? And can we do anything to stem the tide of plastic that keeps winding up, well, everywhere? Environmental Health Expert Leigh Shemitz joins The Excerpt podcast to discuss education, cleanups and other tools for fighting against microplastics.
