About this listen

We would love to hear what you think?

Welcome to another episode of The Exposure Scientist Podcast with your host, Dr. Alex LeBeau. In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that's been making headlines and sparking curiosity—microplastics. With mounting news coverage and a surge of recent research, the conversation around microplastics is more relevant than ever. Dr. LeBeau breaks down what microplastics actually are, where they're turning up in our daily lives—from drinking water to marine life and even within the human body—and explores the big questions science is still working to answer. Are microplastics truly a hazard? What does the latest research say about health risks, and how do our bodies handle these tiny invaders? Join us as we navigate the science, the uncertainty, and the ongoing quest for answers about the presence and potential effects of microplastics in our world. And don't forget, you can now leave your thoughts or questions on our newly updated website—Dr. LeBeau would love to hear from you as we continue this conversation together.
