What! You mean the bioaccumulating micro particles are not totally harmless? I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you.
What's next? Are you gonna tell me water is wet, or fire is hot?
Don't get me wrong, having the empirical validation (along with a mechanism) is nice, but this should cone as a shock to absolutely nobody.
Honestly I remember hearing that plastic molecules are stable and inert, I thought microplastics wouldn’t cause problems beyond accumulating and “clogging”
Well, not that shocked.
Oh god you’re going to make me “ackchually”
If water makes things wet, and water is surrounded by more water is that water not also wet? 🤔
