Are any politicians doing something about this?

The headline isn't an exaggeration. They analyzed 52 cadaver brains over a decade. Plastics increased 50%, and the avg amount in each brain was 7g. 😐

As often, the tech itself is agnostic, and it’s the human handling of it that makes it a benefit or a hazard. Right now the jury is still out on the effects of microplastic and nanoplastic (MNP) on the brain and heart — but if the link to dementia and cardiovascular events is confirmed, then at the rate of increasing environmental concentration of MNP, we might well be facing a pretty major health crisis in the coming decades. Unlike the mad cow situation, this one won’t be easy to reverse and could take centuries

And unlike acid rain (from sulfur dioxide) or ozone depletion (from CFCs) that both had quick fixes, there’s no putting this proverbial toothpaste back into the tube on any meaningful timescale — increasing levels of MNPs will be with us for centuries
