Invisible Invaders - Part II: Health Effects of Exposure
Everyday exposure to microplastics and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) poses growing concerns for human health. While research is ongoing, studies have linked these substances to inflammation, immune disruption, hormone imbalances, and serious long-term conditions like reproductive disorders and neurodevelopmental issues. Found in common products—from food packaging to personal care items—these toxic compounds can accumulate in the body. Fortunately, small, informed choices can help reduce your exposure and support better health.
