How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies
Matt Simon is a senior staff writer at Grist Magazine, where he covers climate solutions. He's the author of three books, most recently A Poison Like No Other: How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies. He lives in San Francisco.
Microplastics and nanoplastics have infiltrated every corner of the environment, as well as the human body. Science journalist and author Matt Simon talks about his recent book, A Poison Like No Other: How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies, covering the ecological, climate, and human health impacts of this dangerous pollutant.
This talk was made possible by the connection provided by Janis Jones of the Surfrider Foundation (San Diego Chapter), program co-lead for the Rise Above Plastics Group (https://sandiego.surfrider.org).
