I'd say at least it's not generational lead poisoning, but we'll probably end up with that too at this rate

Approximately 40.5% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes.

this might be worse than generational lead poisoning

There's no way microplastics are worse than heavy metal poisoning.

the full effects of this aren’t understood, of course… but my money is on: very very bad.
