Eight out of the 15 brains studied had microplastics in their olfactory bulbs.

Thankfully it’s not much but I don’t think I’ll deeply sniff my laundry like they do in detergent commercials anymore lol

    Where do the plastic go after they are inside us?

      I like to think your body just uses it to replace some other organic materials. So effectively we’re now beings who are like 0.5% made of plastic.

      They don’t know. It’s found in sperm and embryos too.

      My guess: it’s the cause of low sperm count
