Study discovers microplastics in human brain tissues, raising concerns about neurological effects.

A recent study published in JAMA Network Open found microplastics in the olfactory bulbs of eight out of fifteen human cadavers, highlighting potential pathways for these particles to enter the brain. The microplastics, ranging from 5.5 to 26.4 micrometers, raise concerns about their neurotoxic effects and possible links to neurological diseases. Researchers call for further investigation into the health implications of microplastics present in various human tissues.
