water.When in thewater,they are swallowed by fish and other animalsand then enter the food chain.2 Even more concerning is the fact that the plastic has also been found in drinkingwater across the world.This means that we are drinking plastic every day.Scientists do not know what level of...
Future research should focus more on the treatment of small-sized MPs and strengthen the combination of multiple treatment technologies. The article will provide a research foundation and direction for the removal of MPs in water bodies, in order to ...
In water from single-use plastic bottles only a few micro-PET-particles have been found. In the water from beverage cartons and also from glass bottles, microplastic particles other than PET were found, for example polyethylene or polyolefins. This can be explained by the fact that beverage ...
Since 2018, public concern has escalated about the impact of these plastic particles in the environment and on people's health. The WHO launched its own study after previous, less conclusive researchdetected tiny plastic particlesin several brands ofbottled water. Bruce Gordon, WHO's coordinator fo...

However, the WHO cautioned that the data on the occurrence of microplastics in drinking-water are limited at present, with few fully reliable studies using different methods and tools to sample and analyze microplastic particles. While calling for further research to obtain a more accurate assessment...

Focusing on freshwater MP, we briefly review the state of the science to identify gaps of knowledge and deduce research needs. State of the science Environmental scientists started investigating marine (micro)plastics in the early 2000s. Today, a wealth of studies demonstrates that MP have ...
根据第一段“Microplastics - tiny pieces of plastic waste less than five millimetres long that have been degraded by waves, wind and ultraviolet rays-have been discovered in the deepest oceanic trenches and within the stomachs of the organisms that live there, but we have little idea about where...
