Yeah but things like aspirin don't accumulate in the body. If the plastics are accumulating then you might very well have an active dose after years of consumption. People born today are going to be consuming this stuff every day for their entire lives. |

After how many years of consumption? If we suppose that every single nanoplastic molecule that enters your body never leaves it (which is not going to be the case, but will give us an absolute lower bound to the time required), it would still take 32.5 million one-liter bottles to accumulate as much as one aspirin tablet. Say you drink six of those bottles a day, which is more than just about anyone actually drinks. That's about 2200 bottles a year. Meaning it would take you about 16,000 years to accumulate as much as one aspirin tablet.
