New research out of the University of New Mexico finds an alarming amount of microplastics in the testicles of humans and dogs.

It's the largest study to measure how much of these microplastics infiltrates our water, food, and even air, and end up in the male reproductive system. 

For a better understanding KCBS Radio's Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising were joined by Dr. Matthew Campen, Professor at the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy. He is also one of the authors of the study.
