MAIN TAKEAWAYS FROM THE ARTICLE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf Twenty-four brain samples<\/strong> collected in early 2024 measured on average about 0.5% plastic<\/strong> by weight. \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf Brain samples contain 10 to 20 times more microplastics than other organs, making the brain one of the most plastic-polluted tissues<\/strong> yet sampled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf Brains of people that had Alzheimers disease<\/strong> contained up to 10 times more plastic<\/strong> by weight than healthy samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf The quantity of microplastics in brain samples<\/strong> from 2024 was about 50% higher<\/strong> from the total in samples that date to 2016, suggesting the concentration of microplastics found in human brains is rising at a similar rate to that found in the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies have detected microplastics practically everywhere in the human body: brains, lungs, placentas, reproductive organs, livers, kidneys, knee and elbow joints, blood vessels and bone marrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sedat G\u00fcndo\u011fdu, who studies microplastics at Cukurova University in Turkey, \u201cit is now imperative to declare a global emergency\u201d<\/strong> to deal with plastic pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
