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?

Micro plastics can be a vector for other contaminants. Other stuff that contaminates the same waterway can adsorb to the plastic and be transported with it. This can cause people to consume other bad stuff that is stuck to the plastics.
