In retrospect I think I was thinking of PFAS. I’m not sure if that’s technically a microplastic or not. Anyway; I would imagine intaking chemicals that your body is unable to remove effectively is probably bad no matter what it is. As bad as mercury or lead ? Probably not. I guess the question to find out is what thresholds of microplastic content correlate to how much negative health outcomes.
And yeah, the irony of the same corpos that poisoned the worlds water supply with microplastics wanting to sell you a microplastic filter wrapped in plastic container isn’t lost on me and most definitely will happen.
