New research released focused on the presence of microplastics in 16 protein-based foods commonly found in supermarkets. “The hypothesis is that these particles could interfere with cell function and cause muscle tissue inflammation.” - Susanne Brander foodqualityandsafety.com/article/microp…
They found a correlation between processed foods and the amount of microplastics found in them. The concern is that microplastics have been found all over the human body and as a cause of myocardial toxicity.

Big Fish Lab Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station OSU's Alexandra McInturf and her colleagues tagged the 7-meter female basking shark off the coast of Ireland on April 24th. More research needs to be done, but this could be indicative of the frequency of these collisions.
