Scientists Discover Alarming Levels of Microplastics in Human Brains

  • Researchers have found that a shocking amount of microplastics are ending up in our brains, with all 91 brain samples examined containing microplastics.
  • The brain samples contained ten to 20 times more microplastics than liver and kidney samples, making human grey matter a major dumping ground for these tiny particulates.
  • Some brain samples measured an average of 0.5 percent plastic by weight, with higher concentrations found in individuals who had died of dementia, including Alzheimer's.
  • Microplastics have already been found in various body parts, including testicles, penises, semen, arteries, hearts, lungs, and bone marrow, raising concerns about their impact on health.
  • Scientists are calling for urgent action to address plastic pollution, with experts declaring it imperative to declare a global emergency.
