Microplastics contaminate human tissues, researchers urge kitchen plastic replacements

Microplastics contaminate nearly every human tissue, prompting Australian researchers to recommend eliminating plastic from kitchens. Dr. Elvis Okoffo of the University of Queensland advises replacing plastic chopping boards, utensils and storage containers with wood, metal, glass or ceramic alternatives. Heating plastic accelerates microplastic shedding into food, making simple kitchen swaps both inexpensive and effective in reducing exposure.
