      In regards to humans, progress is being made. In coming years, expect greater clarity about effects on our bodies such as:

      • inflammation
      • oxidative stress (an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants that damages cells)
      • immune responses
      • genotoxicity – damage to the genetic information in a cell that causes mutations, which can lead to cancer.

      TL;DR yes, cancer. It also fucks with wildlife (blocking intestines, giving off poison)

          Mostly guess though I think remember reading some of it. Here are the links if your interested.

          4.1 Fertility effects in adult males

          Microplastics Linked to Heart Attack, Stroke and Death

          Detrimental effects of microplastic exposure on normal and asthmatic pulmonary physiology

          Could Microplastics Be a Driver for Early Onset Colorectal Cancer?

          Disclaimer not a doctor, just some random guy in the internet.
