Since this is a science community, can I ask what studies directly link these microplastics to the specific adverse affects?

I see a lot of "BPA microplastics are hormone disruptors" and "microplastics found in placentas!" Etc ... ok, but are they the same microplastics in these studies?

It sounds like when everyone puts scarequotes around "chemicals"...
