Microplastics Safety Act
This bill mandates the FDA to study how microplastics in food and water affect human health, specifically examining exposure pathways and impacts on children’s health, the endocrine system, cancer, chronic illness, and reproductive health. The study must identify major exposure routes and assess health effects across these areas. Within one year of the bill’s enactment, the FDA must submit a report to Congress detailing its findings and recommending potential legislative or administrative actions. The bill focuses solely on gathering scientific data to inform future decisions, without imposing new regulations or directly affecting specific groups.
