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

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?

They kinda just stick around and while there are no apparent immediate issues we don’t want to wait till something pops up in say 40 years. Similar thing happened with deet, it was sticking around in everything and while it caused no issues in those places we could not let it keep going until it did cause issues.
