Microplastics, Human Brain

The Human Brain May Contain as Much as a Spoon’s Worth of Microplastics, New Research Suggests
The amount of microplastics in the human brain appears to be increasing over time: Concentrations rose by roughly 50 percent between 2016 and 2024, according to a new study
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
