Woman drinking bottled water. Scientists studying how tiny particles of plastic affect our everyday lives say that the amount of nanoplastics found in bottled water is between 10 to 100 times ...
Bottled water contains millions of small particles, thousands of which are nanoplastics so tiny they can invade the body’s cells, a study finds. Bottled water packed with nanoplastics, study ...
Tiny particles known as microplastics (MPs), have been found in various environmental and biological matrices, including air, water, food, and human tissues. MPs, defined as plastic fragments smaller than 5 millimeter (mm), and even smaller particles such as nanoplastics (NPs), particles smaller than 1000 nanometer (nm) in diameter (0.001 mm or ...
A 2018 study found that tap water has fewer microplastics than bottled water, making it a likely better bet. Filtering your water is another possible way to decrease microplastics in drinking ...
In one study, 93% of the bottled water from 11 different brands showed microplastic contamination. Per liter, researchers found an average of 325 microplastic particles. [ 73 ] Of the tested brands, Nestlé Pure Life and Gerolsteiner bottles contained the most microplastic with 930 and 807 microplastic particles per liter (MPP/L), respectively ...
A 2017 study found that 83% of tap water samples taken around the world contained plastic pollutants. [ 96 ] [ 97 ] This was the first study to focus on global drinking water pollution with plastics, [ 98 ] and showed that with a contamination rate of 94%, tap water in the United States was the most polluted, followed by Lebanon and India .
A series of lawsuits recently filed against six bottled water brands claim that it's deceptive to use labels like "100 percent mountain spring water" and "natural spring water" — not because of ...
