This week, we talk about microplastics (the small pieces of plastic that shed from many things), how they may impact your health, and how to mitigate your exposure.
Katie Okamoto, Wirecutter’s sustainability editor, talks to us about some surprising places microplastics pop up, and when it might be worth switching to non-plastic alternatives. She also reveals some easy, actionable advice to reduce your exposure to microplastics in your food, water, and air.
