Microplastics and our health

On January 4, 2026, PECA kicked off the new year with a presentation about the health hazards related to plastics from Ginny Kesler-Day, a Registered Dietitian and retired Nutrition Professor. Ginny recently completed a course about this topic and told us how researchers have identified an astounding 16,325 chemicals in plastic, and less than 1% of those chemicals are NOT hazardous.  What could possibly go wrong??

Here are the direct links to websites mentioned toward the end of this presentation:
