I think we don't know yet, but it's an issue being actively studied. It could be relatively benign, or it could be the new leaded gasoline... or even worse :agony-limitless:

I believe scientists suspect it messes with your endocrine system. And messing around with hormones is really summoning the demons, that shit can really fuck with you in a million different ways.

if you want an idea, it's not good lol

We still haven't address the lead in our pipes and the asbestos in our walls, but now I'm expected to turn in circles freaking out over microplastics, too.

Cool, cool, cool.

(Micro)-Plastics act as a sponge for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) like DDT which are further biomagnifyed up the foodchain. So, it also depends on what plastic you have in you and where it has been before. I'd recommend staying away from sea salt, if that were at all feasible...

I think the question isn't so much 'does it do harm' but 'how quickly and to what extend does it do harm'
