That's right, pass those microplastics along to the cancer babies! (Seriously though, DONATE BLOOD.)

In serious, most ways to loose blood and need blood infusions will loose the plastics too, so the donated blood just maintains the concentrations, the samw way it does for the other components.
Everyone has plastics in their blood.

But then if you donate frequently your blood will have lower concentrations due to all the previous donations, so don't just donate, donate often.
