Except there were scientific studies done at the time that “proved” it was safe, even as a cigarette filter. Can’t really blame people for trusting that IMO.
Now I wonder what was actually so flawed about those studies.

Here goes the microplastic generation

The geological record will be atomic fallout, and then microplastics on the next layer.

My testicles are really bouncy! How about yours? No? Get some micro plastics in your diet!

Makes me daydream of what new horrible thing the next generations are going to poison themselves with

The current one we are poisoning ourselves with is … disinformation and delusion

That too. But micro plastics have been found in almost every living thing so far. That’s a far greater danger.

We’ve also swept psychotropic drugs in the drinking water under the rug…

My bet is Hardi board will be the next one. Concrete dust causes silicosis. In industrial construction allowable concrete dust is basically zero. Residential construction people are sawing and grinding this concrete siding all the time.

Eh. You should be cutting that with a wet saw, like any other masonry product. The problem is that a lot of contractors are trying to go fast, since time is money, and they skip wetting stone and masonry products while cutting.

That’s a good one. I haven’t heard of that before. It even checks off the “fireproof” box
