Plastic pollution isn’t just an environmental issue, it’s a human health issue too.
In this episode of ConTEXT, we speak with Dr Sarah Dunlop from Minderoo Foundation and Dr Kevin Thomas, Director of the Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences, about the toxic chemicals found in plastics, where microplastics are being detected and what researchers are learning about their potential impacts on human health.
From where you can measure microplastics, to what chemicals they carry, this conversation unpacks the science and explores what individuals, industry and governments can do to help reduce harm.
