And what are we supposed to do about it?

Go out and get some fresh air, R1.

Everything's polluted by microplastics including most men's balls.

That article was very thin. What are the sources of microplastics? Carpeting? Drapery? It would be nice to know so you could reduce exposure.

Cool story

OP at this point you're just posting out of boredom.

We already knew this. There's pollution and cancer everywhere - air, water, food, clothing, etc. So what's your point?

As opposed to the rest of us?

It's mostly due to car tires.

Modern life depends on plastics and now we’re all part of an experiment we didn’t consent for. Can’t change it, it is what it is. There are ways to reduce your exposure so do the best you can but live your life.

“Can’t change it”? What the hell kind of attitude is that, R12? This isn’t something natural, it’s wholly man-made. If we created this plastic environment then we can change and/or destroy it and build a better one.
