So? To quote the results of the paper, "the effects of consuming MPs on human health are largely unknown". I'm just not concerned about ingesting tiny quantities of something that might possibly be harmful, even though we've been looking really hard for harms for quite a long time and haven't found anything of note. My environment is full of stuff that we know to be definitely harmful - could we fix that please, before we start worrying about stuff that might possibly be harmful?

It's good to know that modern practices are having wide reaching contamination. The sources of ingestion may not be from where you expected and may indicate that other more harmful things are being ingested as well.

Nothing wrong with trying to fix both. Often, the obstacles to most problem solutions are political and economic, not technological or scientific. It's feasible to work on many problems if the political will is there. Doesn't have to be a mutually exclusive choice scenario.
