From alarming research linking everyday chemicals to a global fertility crisis, to a plastic detox that helped couples struggling with infertility conceive, 60 Minutes investigates the health impacts of our reliance on plastics.

The investigation features Minderoo’s Professor Sarah Dunlop, who warns that our exposure to industrial chemicals found in plastic products amounts to “one giant uncontrolled experiment on our health.”

Also featured are our partners at The University of Western Australia who conducted the PERTH Trial, which found reducing exposure to plastic chemicals through changes to diet, food handling and personal care products lowered chemical levels by around 50 per cent.
