It was only a matter of time, they first found microplastics in a man's testicles. Scientists finding microplastics in a man's penis was bound to happen sooner or later. Hopefully, this will inject a strong sense of fervor in the quest to filter or destroy microplastics in the environment. Also, to reduce the usage of plastic in general!
Obligatory defeatist response:
Until it becomes cost effective to reduce the use of plastics, or a personal tragedy of someone close to a big enough decision-maker, the status quo will remain the same.
The majority of microplastics found in the human body are tire rubber that gets breathed in. So all we have to do is ban cars.
