brain samples contained seven to 30 times more tiny shards of plastic than kidneys and livers - an amount equal to an entire plastic spoon!

“It is unclear if, in life, these particles are fluid, entering and leaving the brain, or if they collect in neurological tissues and promote disease,” she said in an email. “Further research is needed to understand how the particles may be interacting with the cells and if this has a toxicological consequence.”
