Microplastics are Increasingly Infiltrating our Brains, Study Says
The study found that human brain samples collected in early 2024 contained more microplastics than those collected in 2016. The concentrations in the brain tissue of individuals aged around 45 to 50 years averaged 4,800 micrograms per gram, accounting for 0.5% of the tissue’s weight. This is a 50% increase in microplastic concentration over the eight-year period.
