OUR BRAINS ARE SOAKING UP MICROPLASTICS MORE THAN OTHER ORGANS (3
MINUTE READ) [8]

Microplastics have been detected in human brains at much higher
concentrations than in other organs. Much of the plastic appears to be
smaller than previously thought, with some pieces only about two to
three times the size of a virus. People diagnosed with dementia had up
to 10 times as much plastic in their brains as others, but there is
not enough evidence to definitively conclude on cause or effect. It is
unknown what effect microplastics have on human health, but the
tiniest pieces can cross the blood-brain barrier.
