A greater concern than that is the chemicals from the drugs used my many, not fully absorbed and going into sewage plants.

Then purged back into major waterways with these chemicals not removed by standard sewage treatment methods. Most notably, ethinol estradiol in birth control pills.

That ends the human race most likely. So if we are going to eventually become extinct I don't see much reason to worry about plastics.

@SteelHands the parts per million will never be enough to accumulate in any one location to cause any effects!
Hysterical bullshit from people who cannot think well.
What would they do if you reminded them of the Cosmic and natural rare Earth, Solar and Electromagnetic radiation that passes through their body every second!
There be a run on tin foil because these people's crappy alarmist agendas!

@SteelHands Look at "Fatberg" in London. Caused by grease and sanitary napkins. Hard as cement. Imagine all the things that build up from what we Throw Away

@MikefromEP You're surrounded by it all day long and then freak out with a Rare large visible example of what you just stepped in or breathed in!

Move to unindustrialized countryside!

@Some1Else Well water is becoming more and more contaminated by fertilizers leaching into the ground from farming and Fracking of oil wells

Fish studies don't lie. This has been documented for close to thirty years now.

That big Pharma can afford to make any studies or research papers go away isn't in doubt.

I'm not panicing. I'm old enough to not care. Go ahead. Keep ignoring it.
