“The concentrations we saw in the brain tissue of normal individuals, who had an average age of around 45 or 50 years old, were 4,800 micrograms per gram, or 0.48% by weight,” Campen said.

“Compared to autopsy brain samples from 2016, that’s about 50% higher”
An entire spoon’s worth of plastic in ol’ wrinkly. That doesn’t seem good.

You mean Neal Stephenson’s The Diamond Age
Stephen Nielsen’s The Age Diamond
