Scientists Find Microplastics in Human Brain Tissue Above the Nose
Microplastics are inescapable. These miniscule plastic particles have been found at ancient archaeological sites, in freshly fallen snow on Antarctica, at the top of Mount Everest and deep in the Mariana Trench.
Microplastics found in nose tissue at base of brain, study says
Microplastics can invade the olfactory bulb of the human nose, which transmits smells to the brain, a new study found.
Microplastics found in the human brain via the olfactory pathway
Researchers have identified microplastics in the human olfactory bulb, highlighting a potential pathway for these particles to enter the brain and raise concerns about their long-term neurological effects.
Microplastics Found in Brain Affect Area That Controls One Sense in Particular, Study Finds
Microplastics continue to be found in some concerning parts of the human body. A new study published Sept. 16 in the JAMA Network Open journal explains how microplastics in the human brain can affect an important part of our daily lives: how we smell.
Microplastics Found in Human Brain Tissue, Study Reveals
A new study has detected microplastics in human brain tissue, marking the first time these plastic particles have been documented in this part of the body, raising concerns about potential neurotoxic effects.
Microplastics detected in human brain tissue for the first time
The study suggests that microplastics may reach the brain via the olfactory pathway, similar to air pollution particles. The research
Microplastics found in the human brain
Scientists in Brazil found microplastics in the brain tissue of cadavers, according to a new study published Monday in the journal JAMA Network Open.
Scientists In Brazil Discover Microplastics In Human Brain Tissue, Reveals JAMA Study
A study published in the journal JAMA Network Open and conducted by included researchers from the University of São Paulo Medical School in Brazil found microplastics in brain tissue above the nose. The study looked at the olfactory bulb which is a part of the brain that processes information about smell.
Scientists reviewed 7,000 studies on microplastics. Their alarming conclusion puts humanity on notice
Since then, more than 7,000 published studies have shown the prevalence of microplastics in the environment, in wildlife and in the human body. So what have we learned? In a paper released today, an international group of experts,
More evidence found of microplastics infiltrating human brain, study says
Scientists in Brazil have found more evidence of microplastics infiltrating the human body. While it has been previously reported that microplastics were found in human brain tissue, this recent study discovered these tiny particles in the olfactory bulbs of the brain which are responsible for processing smells.
