Tracey Woodruff, an expert on the effects of microplastics, emphasizes the importance of reducing exposure for children's health. Having swapped plastic baby bottles for glass and advocating for natural fiber clothing, she relates her own experiences and the education gained over time. With microplastics prevalent in air, food, and water, Woodruff cites growing evidence linking microplastics to serious health concerns such as reproductive issues and chronic diseases. The projected increase in plastic production further underscores the urgency of addressing these threats to health and development.
I've studied the concerning health risks of microplastics; we found that microplastics are suspected to increase the risk of reproductive health effects, particularly for effects on sperm.
Microplastics are in the air, they're in food, and they're in water. You can breathe them, eat them, and chemicals on them can also absorb into your skin.
I would recommend glass baby bottles now, as science caught up to show that there are chemicals in plastics that could be hurting the development of my child.
Plastic production is projected to triple by 2060. There is certainly enough evidence of the health impacts of microplastics and toxic chemicals.
