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
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.
Human Brains Found to Carry High Levels of Microplastics

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,
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.
Disturbing Discovery: Human Brains Are Filling Up With Microplastics, and It May Be Causing Dementia
Microplastics are accumulating in human brains at alarming rates, with concentrations rising 50% in the past eight years. Researchers found plastic fragments as small as 200 nanometers, possibly interfering with brain function.
