Summary
Microplastics are in everything, including seafood. In this episode, we first speak with Tony Walker, an environmental studies professor and researcher at Dalhousie University, about his recent study detecting microplastics in lobster meat off the coast of Nova Scotia. Then we turn to Norbert Kaminski, director of Michigan State University's Institute for Integrative Toxicology and Center for Research on Ingredient Safety, to unpack the latest science on the health effects of microplastics and what the real risks are for consumers and the seafood industry.
