The research shows untreated water contains on average 4.9 microplastics per liter, while treated water in the UK holds only 0.00011 microplastics per liter. "Let's say you're drinking two, three, four liters a day, you'd still be somewhat unlucky to drink a microplasti...
"Based on the limited information we have, microplastics in drinking water don't appear to pose a health risk at current levels. But we need to find out more. We also need to stop the rise in plastic pollution worldwide," said Dr. Maria Neira, director of WHO's Department of Public H...

In a newly published paper, “Identification of Micro-Plastic Particles in Bottled Water using FTIR & Raman Spectroscopy,” Thermo Fisher Scientific authors discuss the analysis of microplastic particles using a targeted discrete point analysis from a “stitched” image of multiple fields of view used...
根据第一段“Microplastics (微塑料) pollute drinking water. Data now suggest all of us have microplastics in our bodies. Some plastics are harmful.(微塑料污染饮用水。现在的数据表明,我们所有人体内都有微塑料。有些塑料是有害的)”以及第五段的“The ultrasound treatment removed about four in every ...
Research studies published so far on microplastics in drinking water prove that both, bottled and tap water, may contain microscopic plastic pieces. Their possible origin ranges from raw water over treatment processes to packaging material and distribution systems. Various analytical techniques were used...
1.根据空前“Microplastics are found almost everywhere, in food, drinking water, cosmetics, household products.”可知,微塑料几乎随处可见,在食品、饮用水、化妆品、家用产品中。根据空后“However, there are steps we can take to minimize our microplastic intake.”可知,然而我们可以采取一些措施来减少我们的...
Key Takeaways Consumers are becoming more concerned with microplastics in water, so utilities should start thinking about methods to identify and address them. Although there is a lot of research on microplastics in marine environments, there isn't much research yet with drinking water. To address...
On 25 November, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received a petition signed by over 100 consumer advocacy groups calling for the EPA to develop a monitoring program for microplastics in drinking water. If successful, this petition could lay the framework for the official regulation of...
根据上文Microplastics are found almost everywhere in food,drinking water,cosmetics (化妆品),household products. (微塑料在食品、饮用水、化妆品、家用产品中几乎无处不在。)可知,上文提到了微塑料无处不在,即想要摆脱塑料是不可能的。E选项It's almost impossible to get rid of plastic from our modern ...
