Study finds microplastics in human brains, link to dementia risk

Microplastics have always been debated, but scientists have now found them in the human brain, according to new studies. They also found potential links between microplastics and dementia and other neurological disorders.  Researchers detected plastic particles in every brain sample they analyzed, with concentrations significantly higher than those in other major organs, like the liver and kidneys. This study revealed people diagnosed with dementia had up to 10 times more microplastics in their brain tissue compared to individuals without dementia. The research published in Nature Medicine analyzed samples from postmortem human donors in the United States and found the brain
