A groundbreaking study published in Nature Medicine has uncovered a startling discovery: human brains contain significantly more plastic particles than previously known, with levels increasing by 50% in just eight years. Scientists at the University of New Mexico found that the average human brain now contains about 4,800 micrograms of plastic per gram of tissue – roughly equivalent to the weight of a plastic spoon. This concentration is 7 to 30 times higher than what researchers found in liver or kidney tissue. “I never would have imagined it was this high,” says Dr. Matthew Campen, lead researcher and Distinguished Professor … Continue reading Microplastics Found in Human Brains Surge 50% in 8 Years, Linked to Dementia
