Microplastics have been found in human brains, according to recent research that has not yet been peer-reviewed. The new findings raise concerns among researchers that the olfactory pathway might allow microplastics to access the brain and potentially reach brain areas beyond the olfactory bulb.
“Once present in [the olfactory bulb], there can be translocation to other regions of the brain,” says study co-author Luís Fernando Amato-Lourenço, an environmental scientist at the Free University of Berlin, to CNN’s Sandee LaMotte. “Translocation depends on several factors, including the shape of the particle, whether it is a fiber or a fragment, its size and the body’s defense mechanisms.”

Also when I recently got my hair cut the stylist, who has been doing this for awhile, said it was the time of year when she was cutting college students hair and it was the first time she noticed the number of guys with receding hairlines.
My first thought (no evidence) was microplastics.
