Study reveals alarming rise in microplastics in human brains, sparking health concerns.
Recent research found high levels of microplastics in human brain samples, with concentrations seven to 30 times higher than in liver and kidney samples. The study, published in Nature Medicine, showed a 50% increase in brain microplastics from 2016 to 2024. While researchers noted higher levels in dementia patients, they cautioned against linking microplastics directly to the disease. The study highlights the need for further research into the potential health impacts of these particles.
