A study conducted by University of New Mexico researchers revealed the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in human brain tissue, showing elevated concentrations in dementia patients. The brain samples exhibited substantially higher concentrations of microplastics and nanoplastics compared to liver and kidney tissues. The study emphasizes the need to better understand the routes of exposure, uptake, and clearance pathways of plastics in human tissues, particularly in the brain.
