What are the immediate health implications of the observed increase in microplastic concentration in human organs, particularly the brain, based on the recent study?

A recent study analyzing human tissue samples (liver, kidney, brain) from 2016-2024 revealed a significant increase in microplastic concentration in the liver and brain over eight years. Twelve out of forty individuals with high brain microplastic levels also suffered from dementia, a neurodegenerative disease affecting speech, memory, and cognitive function. However, this correlation doesn't establish causation.
