    Will it take care of the nano-plastics for me or is that an upcoming firmware update?

      it will, but please do not eat the oysters. However, even the oysters cannot save your from nanoplastics.

      They are confirmed to be able to gather nano-plastics as larvae, and microplastic as adults, though no studies have looked at nanoscale particles in adult oysters from what I could find. They may ingest the plastic or package it up in mucus to expel as “pseudofeces”, trapping the plastic particles in the sediment. Source: I study bivalves
