    I think we may have FOUND the microplastics magnet. Plaques in our bloodstreams from the article. They were finding MUCH higher concentrations of microplastics in the plaques. My laymen guess is that the plaques themselves are more “sticky?” to microplastics and collect them. The only downside right now is that means we stroke out when the “magnet” gets full.
