Summary of Tiny shards of plastic are increasingly infiltrating our brains, study says
A recent study published in a preprint has found that human brain samples collected in 2024 contained more tiny plastic shards than samples collected in 2016. The study analyzed brain, kidney, and liver tissues from 92 people who underwent autopsy and found that the brain contained 7 to 30 times more plastic particles than the kidneys and liver. The study's lead author, Matthew Campen, suggests that the brain may be pulling in the smallest nanostructures, which could potentially lead to health problems.
