There’s Plastic in Your Brain — And It’s Getting Worse
A 2025 study from the University of New Mexico Health Sciences revealed a disturbing finding: microplastics have been detected in human brain tissue, with concentrations 50 % higher than eight years ago and up to ten times more in individuals with dementia [Haederle, UNM HSC Newsroom, Feb 2025]. These micro- and nanoplastic particles, originating from packaging, household plumbing, and bottled water, are now confirmed to cross the blood–brain barrier—a protective boundary once thought to keep such pollutants out. Researchers identified plastic fragments as small as 200 nm, roughly twice the size of a virus, indicating that standard water treatment plants cannot fully remove microplastics from drinking water.
