Summary
Joining us today to discuss her research on microplastics is Dr. Gabriela Kalčíková, an Associate Professor at the University of Ljubljana. With a background in chemistry and waste management, Dr. Kalčíková uses her expertise to investigate freshwater microplastics, their interaction with floating plants, and the development of new strategies to remove microplastics from freshwater.
Dr. Kalčíková wants to reframe our approach to waste management. As the head of the Planterastics Lab, Dr. Kalčíková works closely with other researchers at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology to come up with sustainable solutions to the microplastics crisis…
Magnesium is integral for 600+ biochemical processes in the human body. The common misconception is that consuming more magnesium will automatically improve health and well-being. The truth is that there are various forms of magnesium, each of which is essential for a variety of physiological processes. Most people are inadequate in all forms of magnesium, while even those considered "healthy" typically only ingest 1 or 2 kinds. Consuming all 7 of magnesium's primary forms is the key to accessing all its health benefits.That's why we packed 7 forms of 450mg of elemental magnesium into each serving of Wild Mag Complex. One dose a day is all you need. Learn more and grab a bottle today at WildFoods.co. Use code GENIUS for 10% off your order.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The dangerous components that often exist in landfills.
- Where microplastics tend to collect in freshwater systems.
- How certain requirements can impact how microplastic removal technology in wastewater is done.
- How microplastic particles can affect plant health.
