Scientists have made a disturbing discovery: human brains contain microplastics, and at higher concentrations than other organs. Worse, brain levels have jumped 50% in just eight years.
That would seem to be the explanation on the face of it. Piping is made from heavier duty plastic. But I’ve heard that PVC can start leaking some nasty chemicals over the decades. Is that better or worse than microplastics?

PVC fell out of use in the 2000s, most buildings use PEX now; but I don’t know how that compares.
you mean, they don’t use PVC in any new buildings anymore, but older buildings sti have them, right?
