Your brain is full of microplastics

Your brain is full of microplastics: are they harming you?
Plastics have infiltrated every recess of the planet, including your lungs, kidneys and other sensitive organs. Scientists are scrambling to understand their effects on health.
More and more microplastics are ending up in our brains, study shows
Tiny plastic particles are increasingly accumulating in our bodies, and a US research team has found significantly more nano- and microplastics in the liver and brain of deceased people examined in 2024 than in samples taken in 2016.
Brain tissue may contain higher amounts of microplastics than other organs: Study
A new study found that the brain may contain higher levels of microplastics, equivalent to the amount found in a standard plastic spoon, than other organs in the body
Study finds high levels of microplastics in human brains that appear to be increasing over time
Human brains contain higher concentrations of microplastics than other organs, according to a new study, and the amount appears to be increasing over time.
