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.
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.
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.
Scary levels of microplastics have been found in human brains
A new study has found startling levels of microplastics in the human brain, raising more concerns over plastic pollution.
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
Study finds growing levels of microplastics in human brains
Human brains contain higher concentrations of microplastics than other organs, according to a new study, and the amount appears to be increasing over time.
Alarming Rise in Microplastics Levels in Our Brains
"I have yet to encounter a single human being who says, 'There's a bunch of plastic in my brain and I'm totally cool with that'," said one researcher.
As global plastic production grows, so does the concentration of microplastics in our brains
Scientists have uncovered the minuscule waste products in human blood, lungs, brains, hearts and testicles. But a new study, published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine, shows a lockstep relationship between the amount of plastic found in tissues harvested from human cadavers and the amount being produced by the plastic industry.
