The amount of microplastics in the human brain appears to be increasing over time: Concentrations rose by roughly 50 percent between 2016 and 2024, according to a new study

A few effects (not a exhaustive list)
Behavioral problems, Developmental delays, Brain and nervous system damage, Learning disorders, Loss of self-control, and shortened attention span
Gotta keep the masses down somehow
