: 194.246.144.13 This is teh microplastics page, not the plastic decomposition page. Microplastics are not mentioned in the first two articles I checked.Wuerzele (talk) 12:42, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Instead, citation [64] applys to the contents intended by [63]. And "Considering that one treatment plant discharges 160 trillion liters of water per day, around 8 trillion microbeads are released into waterways every day", the numbers in bold are related to the United States as a country, not one treatment plant. ThomasYehYeh (talk) 10:40, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

:I found the same mistake. I don’t understand the calculations of the referenced text, but I removed the incorrect citation and the obviously wrong “160 trillion liters per plant and day”. 37.138.102.85 (talk) 16:23, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

The #Human body section ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Microplastics&oldid=1179023263#Human_body permalink]) collects a bunch of unrelated papers reporting random findings of microplastic particles. Such statements have clear (non-necessarily intentional) scaremonger effects on the reader, while there is no general consensus neither about how microplastics are widespread in the human body or in average human food, nor about how dangerous this presence would be. Horcrux (talk) 10:32, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

:The #Humans section has a statement about the lack of consensus. Makes me wonder why the two sections are in completely different parts of the article. HansVonStuttgart (talk) 12:08, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

::Correct. @HansVonStuttgart Its because the entire article has no guardian editors-, someone or a bunch that seem to have an overview about environmental health...Its written rather lay language wise ("where microplastics can be found" = repository), exposure pathways are missing, the rest of biology is missing, anthropocentric as usual. the same is true for the lede, which is stuffed with hodgepodge details (even geologist student Björn Lycke was allowed to sneak his paper in, arrgh!) loaded with refs and will need to be rewritten to summarize the body.
