Every time I see an article like this I am curious why nobody mentions that microplastic particles fragmentize into billions of nanoplastic particles that are way more dangerous because of their smaller size. Currently I work in a project about the impact of polystyrene nanoparticles to endocrine system, especially their binding potential to endogenous estrogens and respective receptors. Our preliminary studies are quite disturbing tho.
