Barbie Girl was wrong? Life is plastic, it's not fantastic: We each ingest '121,000 pieces' of microplastics a year

re: but also probably much harder to determine?

I would say it is probably easier to determine, though less pleasant. One is estimating when evaluating number of particles ingested, but a weeks urine and stool collection would probably give pretty accurate figures for excreted particles, as I suspect the exhaled, perspired and shed totals are relatively small.
