The average liter of bottled water has nearly a quarter million invisible pieces of ever so tiny nanoplastics, detected and categorized for the first time.
A new study published in the peer-reviewed journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" provides an unprecedented look at the mysterious world of plastic pollution. A...
A new study by researchers at Columbia and Rutgers shows that the average liter of bottled water contains nearly a quarter million pieces of nanoplastic.
Microplastics are polymer fragments that can range from less than 0.2 inch (5 millimeters) down to 1/25,000th of an inch (1 micrometer). Anything smaller is a nanoplastic that must be measured in billionths of a meter.
Bottled water contains millions of small particles, thousands of which are nanoplastics so tiny they can invade the body’s cells, a new study finds.
