10 cze 2024 · There is emerging evidence that on average, bottled water contains more microplastics than tap. (One study published in 2024 suggests that we have underestimated measured concentrations.)
6 mar 2024 · A new study has found that bottled water contains hundreds of thousands of nanoplastics. With tiny plastic fragments infiltrating every part of human existence, can we ever hope to avoid...
20 kwi 2022 · Recent studies have shown some consumer products that hold liquids or interact with them, such as polypropylene (PP) baby bottles and nylon plastic tea bags, release these plastic particles into the surrounding water.
23 sty 2024 · Researchers developed an imaging technique that detected thousands of tiny bits of plastic in common single-use bottles of water. The technique can help to shed light on the presence and impact of extremely small particles called nanoplastics, which are widespread but poorly understood.
An invisible invasion by land, air and sea: Microscopic plastic pieces are in the food we eat, the air we breathe and the water we drink – bottled or not.
