Study finds microplastics in our brains are accumulating

The Human Brain May Have More Microplastics Than Other Organs.
A new study published in ‘Nature Medicine’ has found that the human brain contains significantly higher levels of microplastics compared to other organs. Researchers analyzed brain, liver, and kidney samples from 47 cadavers,
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.
Dementia: Are microplastics accumulating in our brains a risk factor?
People diagnosed with dementia have up to 10 times more microplastics present in their brains than those without the condition, a new study has found.
Disturbing study finds microplastic accumulation in human brains, highest in dementia patients
Scientists found microplastics in all 52 examined human brains. Newer brain samples had more plastic than older ones.
Alarming levels of microplastics found in human brains
A new study finds that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate at higher levels in the brain than in the liver and kidney.
Disturbing Discovery: Human Brains Are Filling Up With Microplastics, and It May Be Causing Dementia
Microplastics are accumulating in human brains at alarming rates, with concentrations rising 50% in the past eight years. Researchers found plastic fragments as small as 200 nanometers, possibly interfering with brain function.
Human brain may contain a spoonful of microplastics, new study says
The study found that concentrations of microplastics in brain samples were up to 30 times higher than those in liver or kidney samples.
New Study Finds Big Increase In Microplastics Found In Human Brains
However, study after study has shown increased levels of microplastics in both the environment and the human body. Scientists said last May they found microplastic in every human testicle they sampled, and such particles have been found elsewhere, including in the liver, blood and placenta.
More microplastics found in human brains
Tiny microplastics are making their way into the human brain, and new research suggests the problem is getting worse.
Study finds microplastics in our brains are accumulating, with unknown outcomes on our health
Microplastics have been found everywhere in the human body, including blood, breast milk, testicles, heart tissue, lung tissue and various other organs. So it’s not entirely a surprise that these “shard-like fragments” have made their way into our brains as well.
A dramatic rise in microplastics found in human brains, study finds
By Bobby Bascomb A new study has found a dramatic increase in levels of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) in human brains in recent years. MNPs have previously been detected in human lungs, intestine,
You might have a spoon's worth of microplastics - in your brain.
New study shows plastic accumulates in the brain, as well as other body parts. Scientists don't know what impact it has if any.
Researchers found a spoon's worth of nanoplastics in human brains — the latest evidence that plastic is accumulating in our bodies
Researchers studied samples of human brains and found high levels of microplastics, but it's unclear how they slip past the ...
Your Brain Could Be Holding A Spoon’s Worth Of Microplastics
Levels of microplastics in the brain have shot up 50% in just eight years, according to samples tested by researchers in New ...
