      In regards to humans, progress is being made. In coming years, expect greater clarity about effects on our bodies such as:

      • inflammation
      • oxidative stress (an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants that damages cells)
      • immune responses
      • genotoxicity – damage to the genetic information in a cell that causes mutations, which can lead to cancer.

      TL;DR yes, cancer. It also fucks with wildlife (blocking intestines, giving off poison)
