In 2022, microplastics were first detected in human blood.
Now, according to a new study, microplastics are not just limited to our blood but have also been found in our brains!
To gauge the impact of microplastics, the team conducted another experiment on a mouse, providing it with water equivalent to what humans consume in a week.
Castillo, in his article published in the journal "Cell Biology and Toxicology," found that microplastics alter immune cells called macrophages, responsible for protecting the body from foreign particles, leading to inflammation.
