Plastics have gone from niche to absolutely ubiqutous worldwide in ~100 years. Even if it turns out to be totally and completely harmless to humans and every other animal, wouldn't you want to know that for sure?

So have radio waves. There was a lot of paranoia back then, much like with plastics today, and a similar amount of studies showing that exposure to RF radiation causes cancer, but that has mostly died down as people realised the truth.

As time goes on, the harmlessness only proves itself.

I cant find any recently published study that /doesnt/ demonstate a link between microplastics exposure and adverse health effects. Please share if you have any

There's already been plenty of articles here about how scientific publishing has gone post-truth. Remember the "black plastic" scare last year? The desire for "engagement" has infected them too; do you think "microplastics are harmless" papers would even be accepted in this current ideology-driven culture? It's all about making sensational headlines and "impactful research", no matter how far from the truth, they'll lie, p-hack, and exaggerate to get there.
