They should have included links to the study and to the conference that they referred to.
> Doesn't say how much of each or which ones have been found to be medically significant.
Plastic waste is probably not uniform enough to make those measurements and have them be correct for other collections of platsic waste.
> No evidence presented that the chemicals are actually making their way into our bodies in clinically significant quantities.
Its probably not wise to wait until the water supply is contaminated with medically significant amounts of endocrine disruptors to tell people there’s a problem.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 6y agoTo be clear. Blogspam can reference true facts and events and still be blogspam. I think something should be done about plastic waste and contamination. But I don't want to reward the entity that created this article with clicks.

- tehjoker 6y agoIt's funny back in 2000 PageRank was all the rage and it worked by figuring out some kind of eigenvalue based on how well pages linked to each other... Maybe that's still true so long as other people link to you but you don't link to anyone else...
- 6510 6y agoIt tries to be one of my favorite topics but its rather sad. There are to many entities with a vested interest in preserving their tenured position. I could write a fantastic article about this topic but why bother exactly? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microplastics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microplastics If you go here and examine the article extremely carefully (unrealistically carefully) you would find in the section "Persistent organic pollutants" a link to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_disruptor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_disruptor Which links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenoestrogen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenoestrogen
