Do we eat a credit card's worth of microplastic each week?

This podcast episode critically examines the flawed methodologies behind microplastic consumption estimates, particularly highlighting how averaging microplastic size and mass can lead to misleading results. By contrasting exaggerated claims with a more accurate assessment of microplastic intake, the discussion underscores the variability of microplastic presence in water and food sources and the significance of particle size in health implications, thereby calling for more nuanced research on the subject.
