    • Toxic chemicals in plastics have been linked to cancers, damage to the immune and reproductive systems, impaired intellectual functions, developmental delays, and other serious health conditions. With more than 4,200 of these chemicals being identified as substances of concern, plastic additives and substances in food packaging and the capacity of chemical additives to migrate into food and drinks is a growing concern. This webinar will also discuss opportunities for nursing action at the federal level and, if applicable, the state level.

      Learning Objectives:

      1. Define the relationship between plastic additives and potential human health impacts.
      2. Describe at least 2 ways that exposure to plastic additives can be minimized.
      3. Identify opportunities that nurses can take to advocate for more health protective food packaging.
