It’s hard for science to prove because there’s no control group - everyone is exposed.

There’s also no clear definition of microplastics that I’ve seen. Different plastics have different toxicitiy

Many of these microplastic studies [1-9] rely on small sample sizes (e.g., n=10 for brain tissue) and detection methods that could pick up contamination from lab equipment itself. It reminds me of when everyone was afraid of BPA

And what defines a “microplastic”? There’s so many different types of plastics that all have different effects on the body

What’s really the health trade-off compared to having to monitor every tiny little thing

How much functionality does it have compared to Orca?

You can definitely ignore them if you think that ignoring them and putting work elsewhere is a net benefit to everyone. Not every action merits a response.
