Microplastics in Bottled Water At Least 10 Times Worse Than Once Thought

Bottled water may contain far more microscopic plastic pollutants than tap water.
Nanoplastics, which are smaller than 1 micrometer, can pass through the bloodstream and lodge in organs.

Researchers find a massive number of plastic particles in bottled water

Microscopic pieces of plastic have been found in bottled water at concentrations 10 to 100 times higher than previously estimated.
Nanoplastics, which are smaller than microplastics, could be more dangerous because they can be misidentified as natural components of cells in the human body.

Nanoplastics: The Invisible Threat and How to Protect Yourself

Nanoplastics, smaller than 1 micrometer, are pervasive in air, water, and food, posing health risks that demand urgent attention and solutions.

Here's the disturbing reason you should never reuse plastic containers

Re-using store-bought plastic bottles and containers can release harmful nanoplastics and toxic chemicals into food and liquids, posing serious health risks.

Plastic is everywhere, including our food and bottled water

Nanoplastics and microplastics are present in our blood, intestines, and organs, according to two new studies.
A liter of bottled water may contain nearly a quarter million pieces of nanoplastic particles.

Nanoplastics: Small particles, big problems

Nanoplastics, smaller than microplastics, pose a growing concern due to their ease of transport and potential acute toxicological effects.

What, Exactly Are Nanoplastics And How Can We Avoid Them?

Nanoplastics, even smaller than microplastics, pose serious environmental and health risks due to their ability to penetrate living organisms.

Your Body Is Awash In Microplastics - Should You Be Worried?

Plastic particles are widespread and potentially harmful, especially nanoplastics which can impact development in animals like chickens.

Scientists Find Bottled Water Filled With Hundreds of Thousands of Microplastics

Bottled water contains more plastic particles than previously thought, including a significant number of nanoplastics.
Nanoplastics pose a special danger as they can enter cells, organs, and even cross the placenta barrier in unborn fetuses.

Your bottled water could contain 130,000 microscopic pieces of plastic

Researchers have found hundreds of thousands of nanoplastic particles in bottled water, with an average of 240,000 detectable fragments of plastic per liter.
Nanoplastics are harder to detect and count than larger microplastics, but a new study has provided evidence of their presence in bottled water.

Study: Bottled water contains thousands of nanoplastics

Bottled water can contain significantly more bits of plastic than previously estimated, including nanoplastics which can be harmful to the body.
Experts recommend drinking tap water from glass or stainless steel containers to reduce exposure to plastic particles.

Surrounded by microplastics: the risks and solutions DW 01/10/2024

Plastic pollution has spread to every corner of the planet and is found in every animal species studied.
There are 100 times more plastic particles in bottled water than previously thought, with 90% being nanoplastics.

Average bottle of water contains 240,000 pieces of toxic nanoplastics

Plastic bottles of water contain hundreds of thousands of toxic nanoparticles.
Nanoplastics found in plastic bottles can enter the bloodstream and brain and carry harmful chemicals.

Plankton Are Making Ocean Plastic Pollution Even More of a Mess

Plastic pollution is becoming more problematic as tiny creatures are breaking down plastic into nanoplastics.
Nanoplastics are smaller and can easily enter the bloodstream and be ingested by small animals, causing harm to humans and the environment.
The research shows that plastic can proliferate at an astonishing rate, with one tiny animal producing over 300,000 particles of nanoplastic in just one day.
