Microplastics Found in Brain Tissue
A recent study reveals that brain tissue contains microplastics in significantly higher amounts compared to other organs, with concentrations being 10 to 30 times greater than those found in the liver and kidneys. Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than five millimeters, can enter the human body through various sources such as contaminated food and beverages, polyester clothing, and even airborne particles. The research showed a concerning increase of 50% in microplastic concentrations in brain tissue over an eight-year period, indicating growing environmental contamination and potential health risks. This accumulation raises alarms about the potential links between microplastics and neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s, necessitating further investigation into this pressing health concern.
