Higher Microplastic Concentrations Found in Human Brains
A Nature Medicine study reveals significantly higher microplastic concentrations in human brains compared to other organs, with levels 7 to 30 times greater in brain tissue than in the liver or kidneys, potentially due to the brain's high fat content and the hydrophobic nature of microplastics. Glob...

Catastrophic Shellfish Collapse in Galicia
A catastrophic collapse in shellfish stocks in Galicia, Spain, Europe's main shellfish source, is reported, with cockle and clam harvests falling by 80% and 78%, respectively, in 2023, while mussel production reached a 25-year low, attributed to climate change and pollution.

Microplastics Found in Human Brains: Study Reveals Significant Levels
A University of New Mexico study published in Nature found microplastics, primarily polyethylene, in human brains, with levels significantly higher in individuals who died in 2024 and those with dementia. The researchers detected approximately 5000 micrograms of plastic per gram of brain tissue, equ...

High PFAS Levels Found in German Sea Foam
Greenpeace found dangerously high levels of PFAS, so-called 'forever chemicals', in sea foam on nine German beaches in November and January; concentrations were between 290 and 3777 times above the Danish limit for bathing water.

Microplastics Accumulate in Human Brains: A Growing Concern
A study of 52 human cadavers (2016-2024) found that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate more in human brains than in livers or kidneys; concentrations increased over time and were higher in individuals with dementia.
