To some, microplastic pollution might sound like a niche issue — this course dispels that notion. Geographically, microplastics are simply everywhere — on mountaintops, in the deep ocean, in our food systems, and in our bodies. This course examines how we got here, why microplastics are a macro issue, and what we know — and still don’t know — about their impacts on our physical and environmental health.
