Study Reveals Human Brains Contain 0.5% Microplastics by Weight
Aug 21, 2024, 08:17 PM
Recent studies have revealed that human brains now contain microplastics, with some samples showing an average of 0.5% plastic by weight. This discovery was made after examining the brains, livers, and kidneys of autopsied bodies, where brain samples contained significantly higher levels of microplastics compared to other organs. The research, which involved 24 brain samples collected in early 2024, highlights the pervasive infiltration of microplastics into human tissue, raising concerns about potential health impacts.
