That's both a misleading headline and a really odd unit of measurement. So odd that I wouldn't be surprised if the US adopted it as the official unit of measurement of microplastics (I kid, as an American).
do we need a unit conversion for how many spoonfuls of plastic are in a plastic spoon?? seems like it might be important for this article.
Well article says a teaspoon has 7g mass, and just spitballin here but I'd say a plastic spoon has about 1g/cm^3 density. And there are 4.83cm^3 in a teaspoon. So I guess in fact there are 1.44 teaspoons of teaspoon in the brain. Or would that be 1.44 tsp^2...?
But I'm an American and I have at least 3 imperial teaspoons of microplastic in my brain or gosh darnit I'm 2 bald eagles short of a touch down. If you know what I'm sayin.[1]
oh
