Bioaccumulation of microplastics in decedent human brains - Nature Medicine Pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry reveals the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in human kidney, liver and brain tissue samples from 2016 and 2024, with higher proportions found ...

Eager to read larger studies that confirm these findings and determine the impacts of microplastics. Levels were higher in 1) brain tissue compared to liver & kidney, 2) subjects from 2024 compared to 2016, 3) in brain tissue of those with dementia vs those without.

This is figure 2, which is a visualization of putative plastics in the brain.

Tiny plastic particles may accumulate at higher levels in the human brain than in the kidney and liver, with greater concentrations detected in postmortem samples from 2024 than in those from 2016, suggests a paper in Nature Medicine. https://go.nature.com/414lf9S #Medsky 🧪
