In this module, we will delve into the negative aspects of plastics’ impact on human health. We will explore the widespread presence of microplastics in our food chain, ingestion, and inhalation, which may lead to inflammation, endocrine disruption, neurological damage, and genotoxicity. Chemical additives that are included in the plastics are equally concerning, as they can be linked to serious health problems, including hormone-related cancers, infertility, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
In this section we also make available PowerPoint Presentations, one per RESCUE training module. Each presentation includes theory, recommendations from the authors, some practical tasks, references, and additional learning resources.
All module activities, those included as practical sessions within the e-learning, are also available to download to the desktop.
