Everyone will have a different perception around this. Basically plastics in the world are kind of like cigarettes. Smoking cigarettes eventually can lead to death but it takes a long time. The overabundance of plastics in the world are not outright killing us but they are leading us to a slow death. I would recommend reading the book, Slow Death by Rubber Duck: How the Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Life Affects Our Health by Rick Smith , Bruce Lourie, and Sarah Dopp Hi Priscilla,

Any minuscule amount of styrene that may migrate out of polystyrene containers into food is far too small to be of any health concern. Moreover, styrene occurs naturally in many foodstuffs, including cinnamon, beef, coffee and strawberries.
