Environmental, Civic and Faith-Based Groups, Legislators Call for Packaging Reduction March 20, 2025
NY State Sen. Pete Harckham Press Release
Dr. Kathleen Nolan, President of the New York chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility, said, “We know that exposure to certain types of plastics and plastic precursors put workers at risk, and recent studies correlate a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and death in people with tiny fragments of plastic (microplastics and nanoplastics) in blood vessels. We must take action to reduce our exposures, prevent plastics from entering our hearts, brains, and every organ of our bodies, and move to a future in which babies are no longer born with microplastics in their guts.”
