Tbf, microplastics would typically contain plasticizers, so that distinction doesn't seem very important other than to highlight that plasticizers are the biologically active component.

That’s very fair, indeed.

Perhaps awareness of one will spark awareness of the other. I suppose my concern is that plasticisers are sort of a ‘hidden’ risk, for the most part. They’re used in nearly every food packaging (and prep, such as hoses) that isn’t contained in glass, or served up in its own peel.
