Why does glass not make nanoparticles?

Why is glass seemingly healthier to use than plastic? Is it because it is more “natural?”

Glass nanoparticles are called “sand”. Nature has evolved accounting for cleaning out sand and dust in limited amounts (though you can still get silicosis if you breathe in sand while using it for sandblasting, do not forget your PPE). Plastic is very resistant to natural filtering systems and is buoyant in water so it doesn’t even settle to the bottom.
