What’s new
Recent resources on harms of plastic chemicals
As we approach the final negotiating session of the Global Plastics Treaty in late November, we're offering a summary of the content we've shared over the past 18 months highlighting health harms of plastics and plastic chemicals.
Below you’ll find links to 14 webinar recordings plus related blog posts, fact sheets, and Science Snippets (short videos).
We hope these resources, many developed in collaboration with our partners, will be useful as we work together to make the case that addressing the plastics problem is an urgent public health concern.
