If we selfishly look up the food chain, how does this affect fish we eat? What are the human health impacts of eating fish that ate micro-particles of plastic?

The plastic absorbs various pollutants. Fish eat the microplastic, and thus the pollutant. Bigger fish eat small fish, and we eat those bigger fish.

I think the answer is to put the money you'd spend eating fish toward solutions for this so that fish is safer to eat again, until that's true.
