Misunderstandings, but they won't go away. Most plastics are not toxic at all, micro or otherwise. If you hear that fish eat plastics, we eat fish and are thus "poisoned," please ask how the fish digest the plastic, convert to fish flesh and what else that we can metabolize that can poison us.

The need to demonize plastics comes because they are synthetic (unnatural) and changeable (humanipulation) with a bit of anticorporation and antifossilfuel thrown in -- real concerns but little to do with toxicity. Chemistry threatens our need to believe in impossibles, learned in infancy and never really lost.
