Plastic People

Almost every bit of plastic ever made breaks down into 'microplastics.' These microscopic particles drift in the air, float in all bodies of water, and mix into the soil, becoming a permanent part of the environment.

Now, scientists are finding these particles in our bodies. What is the impact of these invisible invaders on our health? And can anything be done about it?

Acclaimed author and science journalist Ziya Tong takes a personal approach by visiting leading scientists around the world and undergoing experiments in her home, on her food, and her body. This is an eye-opening wake-up call for all of us to rethink our relationship with plastic.
