Fear of microplastics is not a moral panic. A moral panic would be if we knew microplastics were harmless (making it irrational) and if microplastics were humans (point to a single moral panic were the subject was not human). Also, the fear is rational when it's a conscientious observation of "we've made a change to the environment we don't understand".
