Materials scientist Chris DeArmitt has released a new book titled “Shattering the Plastics Illusion,” which delves into misconceptions surrounding plastics and their environmental effects. This publication follows his earlier work, “The Plastics Paradox,” and seeks to clarify public health concerns associated with misinformation about plastics.
