i recently attended a training where we were informed that a degraded compound from tires breaks the blood-brain barrier in salmon and causes them to die.

But the human blood-brain barrier is more robust, right? ![anakin-padme-2](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/d005c0c7-e7e6-469f-993e-3012b90a48b9.png "emoji anakin-padme-2")

We have larger body compartments outside the brain to soak up those degraded synthetic rubbers, so human bodies will probably tend to get lower intensity doses spread over a greater surface area of tissue to penetrate!
