Show Notes
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announces STOMP, a $144 million program to track microplastics in our bodies. The EPA adds microplastics and pharmaceuticals to its contaminant candidate list. These tiny particles, smaller than 5mm, are found in human blood, organs, and placentas, posing health risks. Experts warn that more research is needed to establish standard measurement methods and link everyday levels to specific health impacts. To reduce risk, avoid bottled water, heat food in plastic, and clean indoor air.
