Synthetic Seeds of Neurodegeneration: A Research Agenda for the Impact of Microplastics on Human Brain Health [FUTURE DIRECTIONS v1.0]
Summary
This research characterized microplastic pollution in surface waters and sediments of the Seine River basin in France, identifying urban stormwater and wastewater effluents as major inputs. Particle concentrations increased downstream through the Paris metropolitan area and declined as the river approached the English Channel estuary due to sedimentation of denser particles.
This article proposes a research agenda for the neurotoxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics, focusing on the nano-barrier breach model and the potential for accelerated neurodegeneration.
