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.
