Microplastics, Public Health Myth or Menace - Ian Mudway
Microplastics - tiny plastic particles less than 5mm long - were first identified in the ocean but are now known to be ubiquitous throughout the environment, within soil, air food and water. Recently, microplastics have been detected in human blood, placenta, and other tissues (liver, lung, colon) raising concerns about potential adverse health effects.
This lecture reviews the science on microplastics and whether we should be concerned about them, compared with other known environmental hazards.
This lecture was recorded by Dr Ian Mudway on 25 September 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London

He is a senior lecturer in the School of Public Health at Imperial, a member of the MRC Centre for Environment and Health; MRC & Asthma UK Centre in Allergic Mechanisms of Asthma and the NIHR-PHE Health Protection Research Units in Environmental Exposures and Health and Chemical and Radiation Threats and Hazards.
