Microplastics are increasingly detected in food, water, and household dust, raising concerns about their impact on human health.
Research suggests that these tiny particles could trigger inflammatory responses in the brain, potentially leading to conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
The implications for public health are significant, as the long-term effects of microplastic exposure on brain health remain uncertain and warrant further investigation.
