The PERTH Trial – Plastic Exposure Reduction Transforms Health

Come and join us for Rotary Fellowship and hear from our speaker, Immunologist/Immunopathologist and Clinician-Scientist Professor Michaela Lucas, on the results of her ground breaking research. 

The PERTH Trial (Plastic Exposure Reduction Transforms Health) is a groundbreaking study exploring the impact of plastic chemicals on adult health. Focusing on chemicals like BPA and phthalates—known endocrine disruptors—the study examines their potential link to chronic diseases.

Through a seven-week assessment involving blood, urine, and stool sample analysis, as well as dietary recalls, the research aims to uncover common sources of plastic exposure in everyday life, how these chemicals are processed by the body, and their possible contribution to inflammation and long-term health risks.

This presentation will discuss outcomes of the study, and describe the ongoing larger randomised clinical trial being conducted with volunteers living with bigger bodies.
