yeah. that's certainly been the approach for reducing exposure to mercury.
but, with plastics, i wonder how significant the exposure reduction is for, say, consuming sardines, given that the plastic particles themselves may be mistaken for plankton.
in other words, what percentage of a low food chain fish's or mollusk's diet is pure plastic?
