Drinking water in plastic bottles contains countless particles too small to see. New research finds that people who drink water from them on a daily basis ingest far more microplastics than those who don’t.
Paywall. But also genuinely curious, is 90,000 micro plastics in a year a lot? Are there levels where we start to be more concerned? How does this compare to other sources of ingestion?
I need to look back into this, back when I first did there weren’t a lot of links to actual poor health outcomes, but I feel like I’ve seen some articles since which suggested that was the case.
