This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug discuss the upcoming global plastic conference and the possibility of cutting plastic production, how microplastics are harboring pathogens in the water, good news about used clothing, and Donald Trump’s pick to lead the EPA. Then Duke University researcher Dr. Kate Hoffman talks about the vulnerability of children to environmental exposures, how researchers are trying to understand the synergistic effects of chemicals, and her ongoing research into the high rates of disease among firefighters and the reasons behind it.
