Recent studies have found small fragments of plastics known as microplastics in the human brain and heart arteries. These studies have also shown a link between the presence of microplastics and adverse health outcomes. How do these tiny bits of plastic enter our bodies and make their way into our brains and our hearts? And what happens when they lodge there?

Join Beyond Plastics, Physicians for Social Responsibility - NYS, and Environmental Advocates of New York for a free educational webinar on these questions with Dr. Sanjay Rajagopalan, a physician scientist whose work has helped transform global perceptions and understanding of the impact of environmental risk factors on cardiovascular disease and Marcus Garcia, PharmD, RPh, University of New Mexico Medical School, co-authors of two ground-breaking recent studies on the presence of microplastics in the human heart and brain.
