Episode notes
Microplastics Are Everywhere
- Microplastics are pervasive, found even in the air we breathe, but their total amount in the body isn't as large as some myths suggest. - The tiniest microplastics are the most dangerous because they can enter cells and cause harm.
Use HEPA Filters to Reduce Exposure
- Use a HEPA air filter at home to reduce microplastic and particulate matter exposure from the air. - Microplastics penetrate skin minimally, but exposure is higher from personal care products especially for women.
Filter Water with Reverse Osmosis
- Install a reverse osmosis water filtration system to effectively reduce microplastics and toxins in drinking water. - Basic water filters like Brita help somewhat but cannot remove all pollutants like PFAS chemicals.
