Wow that is huge. I recall reading a thread on here just a few weeks ago where a number of users were tearing down some others for suggesting they were concerned about microplastics, and positing that if there was any negative health effect to microplastics, we’d have already found it.

I would not be surprised to learn more about these negative effects moving forward. But the real question is, will any governments do anything about it.
