The toxicity of micro plastics is very minor. To get to the point where it is a problem you need to be exposed to it for a very long time.
I think our asbestos is halogenated organic chemicals like PFAS. They are toxic in every way and we are addicted to their use in food chemistry. Not to eat or anything but to make the packaging look nice.
Because they are indestructible by any natural way their dose in the water supply is ever rising. The cost of health issues is already in the hundred billions.
Micro plastics might be a problem for our children when the dosage in clean water gets to extreme levels.
Microplastics and studies on the effects of it on the human body are too recent to say much.
Correct but if the effects are severe we could already say that it's bad. If they are harmful the effect of currently normal levels is on the milde side.
