Your brain can have a plastic spoon of microplastics, discoveries of study – National Aitrend

Microplastics have now been found in humans brainAccumulate over time to about a spoonful and potentially more, according to a recent study. The study published Monday in Nature Medicine have found high concentrations of microplastics in the human brain – higher than in any other organ – on issues on their potential role in neurological … Read more

Cotton and squid bone sponge can absorb 99.9% of microplastics, scientists say Aitrend

Photo by Anastasiia Nelen on Unsplash A matrix of squid bone and cotton cellulose offers a low-cost, scalable solution to global microplastic poisoning, according to a new Chinese study. In attempting to find a material that would address all the common concerns related to microplastic filtration, the scientists’ squid cotton sponge displayed 99.9% efficiency and … Read more
