Thank you very much, Mr. Allen. That's reassuring. Personally, I find that reassuring. I trust science, not just people's ideas and the interests of large corporations that are pushing their economic priorities instead of environmental ones. I like to talk about science and research, and I am pleased to hear the opinion of people like you, whose expertise is not just ideology-based but broadly knowledge-based.
Mr. Allen, in the time I have left, I'd like you to talk to us about the toxicity of degraded plastics and their effects on human health and the environment. What can you tell us about that? What should the government do to further protect these two areas?
