    What’s the impact exactly?

    They say microplastics are in every organism, everywhere. Seems like a large enough sample size that we should have an idea of what kind of damage they do?

      Sample size isn’t the problem. The problem is we don’t have a control group to compare against. Ideally, you’d compare people with micro plastics to people without them, but those people don’t really exist anymore.
