I think humans are pretty ignorant when it comes to how things affect our health, especially when these things are happening at such small scales. 100k every litre ? A litre a day would be 36,500,000 particles a year. What if it accumulates? Not going to discount it 🤔

36M sounds like a big number, but the nanoscale is extremely small so the total mass will be mind-numbingly low. You can easily do the calculation assuming 500 nm particle diameter. V=(4/3)pi r^3 and m = dv are the only equations you’ll need. The density of plastics is about 0.9
