    We know for a fact that they cause fertility issues, and are pretty certain that they’re pretty disastrous for hormonal regulation in general

      I always thought it was getting lodged in the lungs that made it concerning.

        To be fair, most anything being lodged in your lungs would be concerning

        Nope, the problem is we’re starting to detect it in things like blood and muscle tissue, and the amounts have only been increasing.

        This is just the beginning of the issue too. Plastic hasn’t been around a super long time, but it does take it a while for plastic to break down to that point.

        Our plastic production isn’t going to decrease any time soon, so levels are basically going to keep going up.

        I firmly believe that plastic will be what ultimately dooms mankind, not climate change.
