The plastic lifecycle starts with oil and gas extraction and extends through manufacturing, consumer use, and waste management.
David Azoulay, Director of the Environmental Health Program at the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) and coauthor of “Plastic & Health: The Hidden Costs of a Plastic Planet” report, details potential exposures and health impacts at each stage of the plastic lifecycle. He suggests that organizations collaborate to create one compelling narrative addressing the entire lifecycle, working together to find solutions to plastic’s toxic legacy.

Episode 14: What do biocides have to do with fracking? w/Dr. Thomas Borch
Biocides may be released into the environment in produced water through spills, surface water disposal, or reuse, potentially impacting public health and the environment.
Dr. Thomas Borch, Professor in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences at Colorado State University, discusses why biocides are used in fracking and describes the difficulties identifying and measuring them in produced water.
