In this episode, Kathy and I unpack how we reduced our exposure to environmental toxins—from improving tap water safety and installing water filtration systems, to replacing plastic containers and upgrading to non-toxic cookware. We talk about chlorine exposure in showers and pools, how we built a more toxin-free home, and why choosing organic food and chemical-free living matters more than you think. Got questions or already making changes at home? Drop a comment—we'd love to hear from you.

Story at-a-glance Inhaling microplastics disrupts your lung's immune defenses within 24 hours by disabling macrophages, the cells that normally clear out pathogens and waste Once inhaled, plastic particles travel beyond your lungs and accumulate in your liver, brain, kidneys, and colon, raising your risk for inflammation and chronic disease Your body's immune cells cannot break down microplastics and instead hold onto them, causing ongoing immune dysfunction and toxic buildup Researchers are now working to identify early warning signs of microplastic-induced lung damage, including biomarkers that signal rising cancer risk You can lower your daily exposure by filtering your air and water, switching to plastic-free kitchen tools and balancing related hormonal disruption with natural progesterone if needed

Story at-a-glance Microplastics contaminate drinking water, food and blood; the average person consumes a credit card's worth of plastic weekly, causing hormone disruption and organ damage Natural okra and fenugreek extracts removed up to 93% of microplastics from real-world water samples, outperforming synthetic chemicals like polyacrylamide by nearly 40% Plant extracts work through "bridging," or trapping plastic particles with long-chain sugars that clump contaminants together, making them heavy enough to filter out Just 1 gram per liter of plant extract cleaned water in 60 minutes, proving these natural solutions are practical and cost-effective for everyday use Beyond microplastics, these plants also remove heavy metals and industrial toxins while being completely biodegradable, unlike synthetic chemicals that leave harmful residues

Globally, around 460 million metric tons of plastic is produced every year, and it's estimated that 20 million metric tons of plastic litter ends up in the environment. To try and mitigate some of the damage, Plastic Free July was launched in 2011. It's a key initiative of the Plastic Free Foundation, which aims to work towards a world free of plastic waste. Founder and Executive Director of Plastic Free July, Rebecca Prince-Ruiz joined Jack Tame to discuss the initiative and challenge people to get involved. Find more details here.

In this episode, they discuss the book that Teresa is working on through the masters program with Keira Brinton. They also share experiences from the island! Enjoy!

We may think of rubbish as something to throw away, burn or bury - but what if we could turn waste into fragrance, food flavouring or medicine? Well, Professor Stephen Wallace from the University of Edinburgh and his research team has been able to do just that. They've just published a new study into genetically programming bacteria such as E-Coli to turn plastic bottles into paracetamol.

First up on the podcast, U.S. aid helped two African countries rein in HIV. Then came President Donald Trump. Senior News Correspondent Jon Cohen talks with producer Kevin McLean about how in Lesotho and Eswatini, treatment and prevention cutbacks are hitting pregnant people, children, and teens especially hard.   This story is part of a series about the impacts of U.S. funding cuts on global health, supported by the Pulitzer Center.   Next on the show, host Sarah Crespi is joined by Robin Wordsworth, the Gordon McKay Professor in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. They discuss the challenges and potential of microbes to grow plastics, drugs, and food on the surface of Mars or other bodies in the Solar System.   This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.   About the Science Podcast   Authors: Sarah Crespi; Kevin McLean; Jon Cohen Learn more about your ad choices.
