- ▪Microplastics have been detected in almost every human tissue, including vital organs.
- ▪Dr. Elvis Okoffo emphasizes the need to reduce exposure to microplastics due to potential health risks.
- ▪Replacing plastic kitchen items with wooden or metal alternatives is a straightforward way to cut down on microplastics.
