Microplastics — the tiny plastic fragments now found from mountaintops to ocean floors — have also been detected in human brains. A recent study suggested their presence has increased over time, but scientists caution the evidence is too limited to know if they cause harm. While some experts urge restraint, others argue the potential risks warrant action now, especially as global plastic production soars. Next week’s UN talks in Geneva will weigh how to curb pollution before it becomes an even greater public health challenge.
