What are the immediate health risks associated with microplastic exposure, and what is the global significance of this issue?

A recent review of 3000 studies reveals a link between microplastic exposure and increased risks of lung and colon cancer, as well as other health issues like gut inflammation and lung injury. The research, led by Dr. Nicholas Chartres, found that higher microplastic levels correlated with these negative health outcomes. This is based largely on animal studies, as ethical human exposure studies are limited.
