It’s #WildernessMonth....but sometimes, wilderness shows up right on our sidewalks. 🐢💚 When we see a #gophertortoise crossing a road, sidewalk, neighborhood, or developed area, it’s worth remembering: they didn’t move into our habitat. We moved into theirs.

How much plastic is in our bodies? Microplastic contamination and unreliable methods have complicated efforts to find an answer. Scientist Cassandra Rauert — who built a plastic-free lab to study human exposure — explores the challenges for researchers.

What Do We Actually Know About the Microplastics Inside Us?

Pervasive plastic contamination and flawed analytical techniques have clouded the science on microplastics in the human body. In an interview, Australian scientist Cassandra Rauert, who built a plastic-free lab to study human exposure, explores the challenges for researchers.
