About this episode

David Roberts discusses the impact of microplastics on health and offers solutions to reduce exposure.

David Roberts of Mara Labs joins the podcast to break down what microplastics are, why air is one of the biggest and most overlooked sources of exposure, and what it means that most of us are consuming the equivalent of a credit card's worth of plastic every week.
