(MENAFN) A new study conducted by researchers in Brazil has unveiled alarming findings: microplastics have been detected in human brain tissue. This significant research, published in the American ... ...... read full story

Researchers, in an apparent first, found evidence that microplastics — tiny bits of plastic fiber contained in everything from water bottles to clothes — have made their way into human brains. A study published this week in JAMA Network Open, an online medical journal, found that eight out of 15 adult cadavers examined... read full story

Scientists in Brazil found microplastics in the brain tissue of cadavers, according to a new study published Monday in the journal JAMA Network Open. Mounting research over the last few years has found microplastics in nearly every organ in the body, as well as in the bloodstream and in plaque that clogs arteries. Whether these ubiquitous pollutants can reach the human brain has been a primary concern for scientists. The latest research looked at a part of the brain called [...]

A landmark study has revealed the presence of microplastics in human brains, marking a significant breakthrough in environmental and health research. This finding emerged from an examination of 15 adult cadavers in Brazil, where eight were found to contain microplastic particles in their brain tissue. The study, published in JAMA Network Open, represents the first documented evidence of such contamination in human neurological tissue. The research team, comprising scientists from Germany and [...]

A groundbreaking study by researchers at São Paulo University Medical School has identified microplastics in the human brain for the first time, marking a significant milestone in environmental health research, says Bluewater, a global water purification and beverage leader. Bluewater founder and CEO Bengt Rittri said the... read full story

The threads and microplastic pieces were discovered in the olfactory bulb, the part of the nose responsible for detecting odors that sits at the base of the brain. “Once present in this structure, there can be translocation to other regions of the brain,” said lead study author Luís Fernando Amato-Lourenço, a postdoctoral microplastics researcher at the Free University of Berlin, in an email. “Translocation depends on several factors, including the shape of [...]

Microplastics have been found in the brain for the first time, leading scientists to conclude people are breathing in the harmful particles. Plastic fibres and particles were found in the brains of several people who had died – thought to originate from clothing, bottles and food packaging. Experts warned the... read full story

For the first time, researchers have found microplastics in the brain. The latest study, published on Sept. 16 in JAMA, identifies microplastics in the olfactory bulb—the region of the brain located above the nose and responsible for our sense of... read full story
