Rising microplastic levels in brain tissues raise health concerns

Researchers at the University of New Mexico have discovered that microplastic concentrations in human brain tissue increased by approximately 50 per cent between 2016 and 2024. The study, published in Nature Medicine, found microplastic and nanoplastic concentrations in brain tissues reached median levels of 4,917 micrograms per gram in 2024 samples, up from 3,345 micrograms … Read more
