Nanoplastics were identified in human brain samples from cadavers. Concentrations were higher in the brain than in the liver or kidneys, and appeared to increase over time between 2016 and 2024. Visualization of the plastics using a variety of approaches provided insights into the anatomical distribution and physical characteristics of nanoplastics.
