New research uncovered an alarming accumulation of plastic particles in human brains, raising concerns about their potential ...

As global plastic production has ramped up in the last 20 years, so too has the concentration of these shredded, fossil fuel-derived polymers in human tissue samples. The findings are “pretty ...

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

In the latest study, researchers analysed the distribution of microparticles in dozens of human tissue samples that underwent autopsies in 2016 and 2024, including 52 brain specimens. They found ...

Our brains are increasingly plastic. Minuscule shards and flakes of polymers are surprisingly abundant in brain tissue, a study of postmortem brains shows.
