Microplastics found at higher concentrations in human brainsThe tiny bits of plastic pollution that make their way from the environment into our bodies accumulate at much higher concentrations in the human brain than in other organs, a new study shows. Microplastics are broken down from plastic waste and can be found across the planet, people then consume the particles through food, water and even air.
Microplastics have now also been found on plant roots. Only one civilization in existence today is solely responsible for poisoning the entire plant!
The Root of Microplastics in Plants
Like a toxic Trojan horse, microplastics can act as hot pockets of contaminant transport. But, can microplastics get into plant cells? Recent research shows that they can't.
