Tracey Woodruff, an expert in microplastics and toxic chemicals, discusses the importance of removing shoes at home to reduce exposure to harmful substances. Her research shows that microplastics from sources like car tires and garbage can easily enter homes on shoes. With a keen focus on reproductive health, she highlights how microplastics may adversely affect fertility and child development. The practice of shoe removal in her family evolved naturally as they prioritized health and safety for their children, demonstrating a proactive approach to mitigating toxic chemical exposure.
"One contributor to microplastic pollution is car tires, so that's going to be outside, and you can track them around on your feet."
"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."
