“A growing body of scientific evidence shows that microplastics are accumulating in critical human organs, including the brain, leading researchers to call for more urgent actions to rein in plastic pollution. Studies have detected tiny shards and specks of plastics in human lungs, placentas, reproductive organs, livers, kidneys, knee and elbow joints, blood vessels and bone marrow. Given the research findings, “it is now imperative to declare a global emergency” to deal with plastic pollution, said Sedat Gündoğdu, who studies microplastics at Cukurova University in Turkey.” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/aug/21/microplastics-brain-pollution-health

"The researchers found that 24 of the brain samples, which were collected in early 2024, measured on average about 0.5% plastic by weight." That's an insane amount!
