> What is being discussed is breathing in sand, that beach sand can cause silicosis, etc.

Who's telling that it can't?

My point was that amount of sand in your body that doesn't cause silicosis yet is not immesurable or undetectable.

You are fully expected to have some sand in your body all the time. Just at levels way too low to cause any symptoms.

And probably it's exactly the same with microplastics.
