I like the analogy where other articles have said we have microplastics in our brain about the size of a credit card (which generally weigh between 4g and 10g) better.

Saying a “spoon’s worth” seems to be downplaying the unmitigated potential risk. We have no idea what will happen as we (and all the other creatures on earth) keep storing more and more microplastics in our organs.

Nobody is going to stop driving. Car tires are the largest source of microplastics.

(actually I don’t drive though so who am I to judge)
