It's been over 20 years since you published the paper on microplastics. How much do we know about how microplastics impact human health by way of ingestion through food, water and air? We certainly know that microplastics are in the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe. We know less about their effects on human health than we do about effects on many other organisms — and that's typically the way science unfolds around toxicology.
