These teeny tiny pieces of plastic have been found in everything from drinking water to broccoli, and recent studies have linked these pollutants with a host of health issues. To find out how to reduce the amount of tiny plastics (and their chemicals) that you might ingest, we spoke with three doctors and a research scientist. Their advice? Start by focusing on exposures from water, food, and air. We’ll walk you through some of the gear you need to do that below.
