    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)
