    Too bad the published paper isn't open access, but anyway, I believe we are in the start of an inflection point in the studies about microplastics. For so long, we've been detecting these particles in all possible places, but couldn't find links to the effects in health, what, along with the industry pressure, has led to the consideration that they were safe, unless proven the contrary. Now, we will probably see many more results like this one being published, finding links between microplastics and all kinds of health issues you can imagine. Let's see how this information will impact the world.
