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

The scale of this though...

We used to put lead in gasoline and emit lead fumes everywhere we drove. I still don't think microplastics can compare.

worse is pretty subjective… is brain damage worse than brain cancer?
the full effects of this aren’t understood, of course… but my money is on: very very bad.
