Scientists have known for years that there's plastic in water. A 2018 study detected an average of around 300 particles of plastic per liter of water. At the time, they were measuring ...

The co-authors told Bloomberg that their research on nanoplastics won’t stop at bottled water, and they have plans to investigate why tiny plastic particles appear in tap water and snow samples ...

They tested three brands of bottled water; they did not identify the brands. The particles they could identify accounted for only 10% of total particles they found — the rest could be minerals ...

Each liter of water contained an average of 240,000 particles from seven different types of plastics. Nearly 90 percent of these particles were nanoplastics made up of synthetic chemicals with ...

And they never have tested or treated their drinking water for microplastics. One news investigation found the particles in Columbia’s drinking water, and other studies have found microplastics ...

People who drink bottled water may be getting more than just hydration, some researchers claim. A new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that each ...

One liter of water — the equivalent of two standard-size bottled waters — contained an average of 240,000 plastic particles from seven types of plastics, of which 90% were identified as ...

It may be time to find America’s next top bottle. In a new scientific paper, three physicians report that switching from bottled water to filtered tap water could cut your microplastic intake by ...

The findings show that bottled water could contain up to 100 times more plastic particles than previously estimated, as earlier studies only accounted for microplastics, or pieces between 1 and ...

To their surprise, most of the particles were not polyethylene terephthalate, or PET — the material most water bottles are made of. Rather, they found more particles of polyamide (a type of ...
