We are belatedly waking up to the many health risks of microplastics. Yet too little research focuses on the most exposed demographic of all

@JohnDClay and the article points out that it’s not necessarily recycled at all:
Even if it was recycled, most of it wouldn’t be able to be, and would still be disposed of in the ways you describe.
It is stuff like this that makes me wonder how they can get away with this stuff.
Some of us will look at fish and find it gross that they swim in their own waste but humanity is doing the same thing with plastic which does not even break down for hundreds of years.
@Gamers_Mate yeah we’re modifying ourselves and not in a good way.
I think this article makes a very good point that by not studying children in LICs we are likely seriously underestimating the scope of the problem.
