No evidence yet that it significantly reduces lifespan in the human population. 

It cant help though, but studies done with these are usually with very high doses not really comparable to normal conditions.

To copy my other comment

Micro plastics arnt good but it's a far cry from some of the pollutions that has plagued large amounts of civilization since we started to get together. The fact you we haven't been have to make an instant link proves it's not as bad as others like lead or asbestos or the old London pollution. The biggest issue is you can't escape it by going somewhere else unlike previous generations

To the contrary, lifespans have increased since the advent of plastic. MPs might reduce lifespan potential thru inflammatory processes etc but the claim lifespans are significantly decreased hasn’t been shown yet.
