      I think that it’ll be the final nail in humanity’s coffin.

      Climate Change is really bad, but humans are going to survive it, although in greatly reduced numbers for a long time.

      But plastics currently have a measured negative impact on fertility rates. Can’t survive as a species if you can’t reproduce.

      So is lab techique that allows microparticle contamination, leading to over-measurement of microplastics.
