Many of these microplastic studies [1-9] rely on small sample sizes (e.g., n=10 for brain tissue) and detection methods that could pick up contamination from lab equipment itself. It reminds me of when everyone was afraid of BPA

And what defines a “microplastic”? There’s so many different types of plastics that all have different effects on the body

What’s really the health trade-off compared to having to monitor every tiny little thing
