It feels like every few weeks i see an article about microplastics being in the human body. As i understand plastics are inert so why do we expect them to be any more harmful than normal dust?
In: Biology
I’m not informed on the inertness of it but it’s like having tiny bits of anything in your bloodstream. It can be incredibly harmful to one person and not affect another. If we keep using them I’m sure that eventually human body’s will find a way to break it down and excrete it or use it but right now it looks like it will just cost an enormous amount of human lives.
