Yup, nobody ever got sick or died before the days of plastic.

i read that nanoplastics are even worse than microplastics ...

Silicones’ use however is limited mainly to elastomers and pressure sensitive adhesives

Also lubricants and heat-transfer fluids. I was unaware that anything degraded them. Thanks.

Forgot about silicone fluids.

Usually I’m thinking about what goes into packaging.

Don’t know about others, but when I accidentally swallowed a plastic item, it just came out the other end. No big deal.

“With very few exceptions a chemical is classified as organic if it contains at least one carbon atom, regardless of its source. This is why organic chemistry is called “the chemistry of carbon.””

Words have different meanings by context.
