The researchers found 110,000 to 370,000 particles in each liter, according to the study. About 90% of the particles were nanoplastics, while the rest were microplastics. In response to the study, the International Bottled Water Association noted that there "currently is both a lack of standar...
Testing three popular brands of bottled water sold in the US (they declined to name them), the researchers analyzed them for the plastic particles present down to just 100 nanometers in size, which had previously been invisible under conventional imaging. They...

In addition, micro-beads, a type of smaller micro-plastic, are very tiny pieces of manufactured polyethylene (聚乙烯) plastic added as exfoliants (去角质剂) to health and beauty products, like toothpastes. These tiny particles easily pass through water systems and end up in the ocean, ...
In fact, one global study of 259 bottles of water from 11 different brands sold around the world found that 93% of samples contained microplastic particles. On average, the bottles contained 325 pieces of microplastic pollution per litre – but in one specific case, the s...
