Unless something has come out in the last year or two, yes it is. There are all sorts of studies showing micro plastics have gotten pretty much everywhere in our bodies, in the soil, in the rain, but no major study has yet to correlate that with any kind of health issues
Population studies would be easiest, but you can't do those because there are no populations that aren't saturated by microplastics.
There is science that shows plastics in our bodies inhibit proper function.
