Microplastics and Health Implications

Microplastic in human organs and potential threats
This webinar will cover the effects of microplastics on human health. We are hoping to invite at least three scientists in the field close to the subject to attend the event as guest speakers and discuss how the spread of microplastics throughout the environment, as well as their increased prevalence within various foods and as a result, the human diet, are currently affecting us in a variety of ways, and how they will likely affect us in the future.
