That’s just from PCB from farmed salmon. What do we really know about ingesting those microplastics? I’m not really worried about “toxins,” in general, but plastics aren’t exactly made to be safe to ingest.
I thought the article made (implicitly) a case for fish farmed in controlled environment. Those should be safe, right? That is if you can find them correctly labelled, which the author notes is also an issue.
- ekianjo 10y ago> but plastics aren’t exactly made to be safe to ingest Plastics are usually simple polymers, long chain of hydrocarbons. Not saying it's safe to ingest, but comparatively with many other substances found in the environment, there is less likely to be any interaction with your organism. The contamination of drinking water with lots of drugs in traces is, I think, far more dangerous.
