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.

#microplastics

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.

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.
