One evening, while looking at a sample under the microscope, Finley imagined the world through the eyes of a zebrafish. To the fish, the bright blue speck looked like a nutrient-rich morsel. But once swallowed, the plastic didn't just sit there. It became a Trojan horse, enhancing the bioavailability of other toxins and allowing harmful chemicals to leach into the fish's bloodstream. Finley knew from the study that these effects weren't localized; they cascaded through the ecosystem, eventually reaching the humans who sat at the top of the food chain.

To most, 109581 was just a digital object identifier. To Finley, it was a horror story written in the language of science.
