why are people concerned about microplastics?

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?

Because “micro” means they get into tiny little pores and holes in your organs, and then they get stuck there (forever, since they’re inert). Your body doesn’t clean itself the same way that you clean your house and take the trash out.
