We recently posted an Instagram Story asking what questions you all have about microplastics — and microplastic research experts at @5gyres answered. 🌎
Microplastics are everywhere: in our air, water, food, soil, and even our bodies. Scientists have found them in blood, lungs, placentas, breast milk, and more.
While experts are still trying to understand the long-term effects (many of these studies are still very new!), research suggests that microplastics may contribute to inflammation, oxidative stress, and other negative health effects.
We recently had a chance to interview the microplastic research experts at @5gyres to answer some of your questions, such as:
• Is there a way to detox from or remove the microplastics we already have in our body?
• What types of exposure have the biggest impact on our health and environment?
• What can everyday brands and businesses be doing to be part of the solution?
• What role does policy play?

You guys could definitely have a refill station in stores instead of plastic bottles. No excuses. Love Dr. bonners its the only soap we use, however we hate going through so much plastic.
