alt Hacker NewsI struggle with taking this too seriously YET, knowing that we ingest all manner of tiny things, and breathe in all kinds of particles and toxins all the time. NOT SAYING this is fine, but rather I haven’t heard anything yet to bump it up higher in the list of concerns.
I mean I already have exposure to lead and asbestos, and the random particulates I breathe in aren’t going away. I feel like this is getting attention because it’s a new issue, not that all other concerns pale in comparison.
I used to hand sort damaged batteries without gloves. I feel like I am not going to see much benefit from trying to minimise microplastic consumption. But maybe the next generation will see some benefit.
