Bottled Water Contains Previously Undetected Nanoplastics - Bloomberg

The more we learn about plastic the more problematic it is, and yet we keep putting our food in it.

To overcome that challenge, the study’s co-authors invented a new microscopy technique, programmed a data-driven algorithm and used both to analyze roughly 25 liters of bottled water purchased from three popular brands in the US. (The researchers declined to specify which brands.) They found 110,000 to 370,000 tiny plastic particles in each liter, 90% of them nanoplastics.

This article made me think "I should go read the original study that is cited." I did find it, but it was long and pretty impenetrable for me. If you needed another reason to avoid plastic water bottles, here is a good one.

And these nanoplastics that can pass into your blood stream? Yikes! 😳
