"Bottled water contains more than just water. It also contains a surprising
number of microscopic pieces of plastic.
That’s according to recent research, which finds that the average liter of
bottled water contains nearly 240,000 tiny pieces of plastic. Nearly 90% of the
plastics detected in the study were nanoplastics — plastic particles that can’t
be seen with the naked eye and small enough to enter the body’s cells and
tissues.
Microplastics — pieces of plastic debris that result from the breakdown of
plastic products over time — and even smaller nanoplastics are everywhere and
could pose a risk to human health.
The best way to protect ourselves, our communities and future generations from
the threat of microplastics is to move beyond plastic."
