A study by Duke University suggests that nanoplastics in the environment interact with a protein in the brain linked to Parkinson’s disease and some types of dementia. It found that nanoplastics promote the formation and aggregation of α-synuclein in the brain, which is influential in Parkinson’s progression. This highlights a potential new area of research linking nanoplastic pollution with neurodegenerative disorders.
