Our brains are filling with more and more microplastics, study shows
A new study shows that microplastics are making their way into our brains, and that their concentrations are rising.
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.
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.
Study sees high level of microplastics in human brains
People with dementia have 10 times higher levels of microplastics in their brains than other humans, the study shows, but whether that is a cause of dementia was not part of study. Most plastic gets into humans indirectly through the food we eat, Campen said.
Microplastics found at ‘concerning’ levels INSIDE human brains
Tiny plastic particles hidden in food, water and even in the air have been found inside human brains, accumulating at an alarming rate. A new study has found microplastics – plastic pieces less than five millimetres long – at higher levels in the brain than in the liver and kidney.
Study points to increasing build-up of microplastics in brains
Human brain tissues analysed last year had much higher levels of tiny plastic particles than samples from 2016, according to research that shows the potential damage caused by so-called microplastics pollution.
UNM researchers release study showing higher levels of microplastics in human brain
In a press release sent just hours after the tariffs were confirmed, Houston said that as of Monday, tolls at the Cobequid Pass will double for commercial vehicles entering from the U.S. He said the Nova Scotia Liquor The musician's acceptance speech about "destructive forces" did not mention the president by name.
Microplastics Could Accumulate in Our Brains More Than in Kidneys And Livers
Postmortem brain samples collected last year contain considerably more microplastics than similar samples collected nearly a decade ago, a new study has found, indicating the tiny synthetic particles accumulate in our vital organs over time.
Human brain samples contain an entire spoon’s worth of nanoplastics, study says
Human brains today contain 50% more plastic than in 2016, a new study found. Brain of people diagnosed with dementia had the ...

Plastic shards permeate human brains
Our brains are increasingly plastic. Minuscule shards and flakes of polymers are surprisingly abundant in brain tissue, a study of postmortem brains shows.
The L.A. fires are contained, but the harm to people’s brains may linger
Researchers say that long-term exposure to high levels of air pollution, particularly wildfire smoke, is linked to dementia.
