"Untreated Secondary Microplastics in Nature Cause Dangerous Brain Inflammation, New Research Finds"

TL;DR Summary
New research conducted by scientists in South Korea has revealed that secondary microplastics, formed through the breakdown of larger plastic fragments in the environment, can trigger severe brain inflammation. The study found that continuous consumption of these secondary microplastics acts as neurotoxins in the brain, leading to increased inflammation and cell death. The findings highlight the harmfulness of microplastics and their potential impact on human health.
