AgeSpan Nutrition Intern Jose Zuniga explains how microplastics get into food, how to avoid them and the impact they can have on health at a lecture sponsored by the Haverhill Council on Aging.
Zuniga’s free talk, “Microplastics, Big Impact: What You Need to Know,” is offered Thursday, Nov. 6, at 11 a.m. at the Haverhill Citizens Center, room 45, 10 Welcome St., Haverhill.
Zuniga, a student at UMass Lowell, is studying with Leigh Hartwell, a dietician at AgeSpan, a regional social services agency headquartered in Lawrence. Hartwell will accompany him to the lecture and be on hand to answer questions.
