Microplastics and women’s health: what we’re learning from new research | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

Microplastics are turning up all over our bodies, from our lungs and brains to even the placenta during pregnancy. A new article in JAMA by scientists in the Mahalingaiah Lab and others at the Harvard Department of Environmental Health pulls together the latest research and makes a clear case that we need to take microplastics seriously, both as individuals and as a global community.
