I read it fairly quickly, and didn't see addressed the
issue of orbital hazard.

Have they computed the risk level to orbiting craft?

If significant, could we have expected losses by now?

Have there been any that could be attributed to these
micro comets?

The detonation of these glorified ice cubes takes place at a much lower altitude than satellites or the space shuttles, so odds are pretty low.
