@purascans: That plastic cutting board sheds microplastics into your food every time you chop — a 2023 study in Environmental Science & Technology estimated a single polyethylene board can shed 14 to 71 million particles a year, and a follow-up measured up to 1,114 in one carrot-chopping session. They’re polyethylene — the same plastic a 2024 NEJM study found lodged in human artery plaque, where it was linked to higher heart attack and stroke risk. The long-term health effects are still being studied, but the exposure is real and measurable. Solid wood boards like John Boos shed wood, not plastic. ⚠️
