    What’s the impact exactly?

    They say microplastics are in every organism, everywhere. Seems like a large enough sample size that we should have an idea of what kind of damage they do?

      Sample size isn’t the problem. The problem is we don’t have a control group to compare against. Ideally, you’d compare people with micro plastics to people without them, but those people don’t really exist anymore.

    Blood donation can help reduce Micoplastics and PFAS in your blood. So if you haven’t given blood in a while it’s worth it for a personal benefit as well as a social one.
