Study links microplastics to brain disease pathways

Abstract:

A systematic review suggests microplastics—ingested from food, bottles, clothing and more—can accumulate in organs and trigger immune responses, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier disruption, neuronal damage and mitochondrial dysfunction, potentially promoting Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s pathology via tau, beta-amyloid and alpha-synuclein aggregation; authors urge reduced plastic use and lifestyle changes now widely.
