Recent studies have found small fragments of plastics known as microplastics in the human brain and in the arteries leading to the heart; the presence of these particles is also linked to adverse health outcomes.
How do these tiny bits of plastic enter our bodies and make their way into our brains and arteries? And what happens when they lodge there?
Join Beyond Plastics, Physicians for Social Responsibility – NYS, and Environmental Advocates of New York for a free educational webinar on these questions with Dr. Sanjay Rajagopalan, a physician scientist whose work has helped transform global perceptions and understanding of the impact of environmental risk factors on cardiovascular disease and Marcus Garcia, PharmD, RPh, MA of University of New Mexico Medical School, co-authors of two ground-breaking recent studies on the presence of microplastics in the human brain and carotid arteries.
