"Microplastics are increasing in the brain over time. The latest evidence indicates that microplastics (MNPs) are present in human brain tissues and their concentrations have been increasing over time. A study published in Nature Medicine in 2025 demonstrated that MNP concentrations in human brain tissues were significantly higher in samples from 2024 compared to those from 2016 (P = 0.01). This study utilized advanced detection methods such as pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and electron microscopy to confirm the presence of MNPs, primarily polyethylene, in the brain.[1]
Additionally, animal studies have shown that chronic exposure to microplastics can lead to their accumulation in the brain, causing neuroinflammation, disruption of the blood-brain barrier, and cognitive deficits.[2-3] These findings underscore the potential health risks associated with the increasing presence of microplastics in the environment and their ability to accumulate in human tissues over time."
