Tiny micro- and nanoplastic fragments seem to be turning up everywhere, including one of the most well-protected parts of the human body—the brain. In a recent study conducted by Chinese researchers, ...

Microplastics build up in the brain at higher levels than in any other organ
Micro- and nanoplastics accumulate in human brain tissue at concentrations significantly higher than in the liver or kidneys, according to direct post-mortem measurements published in Nature Medicine.
(CNN) — Cognitively normal human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples collected eight years prior, according to a new study. Overall, ...
It feels like every few months, microplastics are cropping up someplace else they don’t belong: testicles, placentas, carotid artery plaque, lungs. These infinitesimally small plastic particles, which ...

Overall, cadaver brain samples contained seven to 30 times more tiny shards of plastic than their kidneys and liver, said co-lead study author Matthew Campen, Regents’ Professor and professor of ...
