Because of widespread infiltration into the environment, #plastics contamination requires a holistic strategy to protect #health as #pesticides &other toxics are #adsorbed to #microplastics, resulting in #bioaccumulation & #contamination. ➡️ Take Action:

📣 Tell your governor and state legislators to pass a “beyond plastics” bill to reduce harm from microplastics and their interaction with pesticides and other toxic chemicals AND 📣 Tell HHS Secret...

A research article by Charles Benbrook, PhD finds that #glyphosate persists in bones before reentering the bloodstream, providing "... critical insights into how exposures may be contributing to #blood #cancers," like #NHL, #myeloma, & #leukemia. 🩸 Blog:
