  • Researchers took samples of human brains from dead people to look for microplastics.
  • The brain samples had higher levels of plastic than kidney or liver samples.
  • People who died in 2024 had more nanoplastics in their brain samples than those who died in 2016.
The brain is the most well-protected organ in the human body, but it has a surprisingly high amount of microplastic pollution, according to a paper published in Nature Medicine on Monday.
