      We’ve added a lot of plastics to our life in the last decades. And much took its time to break down (into pieces, not molecules).

      Oh, and they mean men in the 1970s, not 70 year old men.

      90% of all plastic ever produced as of ten years ago, had been produced in the preceding ten years, and massive new production has come online since then.

      The problem is a lot bigger than just microplastic I’m afraid, and bigger than male fertility.
