Summary

Researchers investigated the correlation between marine microplastic levels in ocean water and the prevalence of cognitive, mobility, self-care, and independent living disabilities in coastal counties adjacent to those waters. The study aimed to determine whether geographic proximity to higher microplastic concentrations is associated with greater rates of neurological disability in nearby human populations.
