While it might be impossible to avoid microplastics entirely, experts shared several practical steps you can take to reduce ...

"They're at a much larger concentration in the body than many of us would have expected," he said. Researchers think the growing amount of plastic humans are exposed to could be behind the increase ...

Tiny plastic particles have been discovered in human brains, with higher amounts found in recent years compared to earlier ...

Plastics have infiltrated every recess of the planet, including your lungs, kidneys and other sensitive organs. Scientists ...

A new study finds that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate at higher levels in the brain than in the liver and kidney.

They found that the concentrations of particles in kidney and liver samples were comparable, with an average of 433 micrograms of microplastic per gram of tissue in the liver samples and 404 ...

People diagnosed with dementia have up to 10 times more microplastics present in their brains than those without the ...

Human brains contain higher concentrations of microplastics than other organs, according to a new study, and the amount appears to be increasing over time.

New research is sounding the alarm about what happens when plastic breaks down over time and where it ends up in our bodies.

The olfactory nerves run from the inside of the nose, through the skull, and then directly into part of the brain called the ...

As plastic breaks down over time, it degrades into smaller and smaller bits ‒ eventually small enough to slip inside the human body. Most of the plastics the scientists found in brain ...
