You're right - this is misleading; because it's worse!
Micro-particles are much worse than a complete piece of plastic floating around, it means that's it's broken down to the point where smaller organisms (Such as - I don't know, those that create oxygen for us to breathe). These organisms are highly susceptible to these plastics and it is incredibly toxic to them. They create way more oxygen then most people are aware of.

What happens to the blue whales that eat the krill, or the yellowfin tuna that eat the schooling fish that eat these microorganisms? Remember DDT? This could be so much worse.
