Microplastics in bottled water: What 240,000 particles per litre means for your health
Researchers at Columbia University found an average of 240,000 microplastic particles per litre in popular bottled water brands, significantly higher than previous estimates. Most of these particles are nanoplastics, which are extremely small. The World Health Organization states that while ingestion occurs, the long-term health effects of microplastics remain unclear, prompting ongoing research into their impact.
