Microplastics Found in Human Brains, Study Warns of Rising Health Risks

New research reveals alarming levels of microplastics in brain tissue, prompting urgent calls for global action on plastic pollution.

Scientists found an average of 0.5% plastic by weight in brain samples from cadavers.
Microplastics were significantly higher in brains compared to other organs like livers and kidneys.
The study observed a 50% increase in brain microplastics from 2016 to 2024.
Microplastics have been linked to various health issues, including neural disorders and chronic diseases.
Researchers emphasize the need for immediate global measures to address plastic pollution.
