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?

They get EVERYWHERE in your body. They accumulate inside your brain, your heart, your reproductive organs, everywhere. They can obstruct blood flow and damage the surrounding tissues, and your body doesn’t have any tools that can break them down, so they stay there forever.
