From plastic bottles to non-stick pans – many everyday products release microscopic pollutants that can persist in the environment and our bodies. In a new videocast, environmental geoscientist Thilo Hofmann (EDGE) discusses with Dr. Bezard what science knows about microplastics, PFAS ("forever chemicals"), and other hidden contaminants.
The conversation explores surprising sources of exposure, from heated baby bottles to outdoor clothing and cosmetics, and highlights the impact of environmental toxins on ecosystems and human health. Thilo Hofmann also offers science-based advice on how to reduce personal exposure and explains why well-informed concern is more helpful than panic.
