Do we know microplastics to be toxic?

Not as bad as lead but definitely not good.

Maybe not in small enough quantities, but what happens when your body accumulates enough of it? Maybe its completely inert but it will build up inside us like dust builds up on devices and eventually it might start clogging something critical, like extremely small bloodvessels or maybe some badly understood cleaning mechanism on brains.

Yes, we know the chemicals in plastics are toxic.
