Why do we find microplastics in humans but not other common substances (e.g. steel, wool, etc.)? I'm not too familiar with why this is happening
Specifically steel and wool are manufactured to be what they are. The process probably involves a step to remove micro plastics.
Your reply makes no sense to me.
It's like that because of the way that it is.
Steel is made by heating up iron and carbon at temperatures where all kinds of plastics would sublimate into gas.
