if artificial plastics are (mostly) chemically inert, why do they pose such a high biological risk to lifeforms?

Question

We keep hearing the word “microplastic” in our foods, seas, and ground, but if they do not react with most chemicals, why are they a problem in our bodies? Wouldn’t they just ignore them?

Answer 1

the way you phrase:

>we keep hearing the word “microplastic”

implies that you think it’s bullshit, and I very much assure you it is not. microplastics fuck shit up in a very bad way.
