The Human Brain May Contain as Much as a Spoon’s Worth of Microplastics, New Research Suggests
The amount of microplastics in the human brain appears to be increasing over time: Concentrations rose by roughly 50 percent ...
Human brain samples contain an entire spoon’s worth of nanoplastics, study says
Human brains today contain 50% more plastic than in 2016, a new study found. Brain of people diagnosed with dementia had the most.
You might have a spoon's worth of microplastics - in your brain.
New study shows plastic accumulates in the brain, as well as other body parts. Scientists don't know what impact it has if any.
