Maybe we will find research correlating microplastics as ideal surfaces for cellular biofilm [1] deposition. Petri dishes are plastic too, so we would have observed a discrepancy much sooner--then the nano-scale is a possible factor.
Nanobiology could become its own specialist field.
So it's acting as a substrate for the plaque?
Short of using glass for everything and switching to copper pipes, what other ways am I ingesting plastic?
Maybe we should have stuck with wood and Bakelite.
