Daily use of plastic feeding and water bottles occur widely in China, and they could be sources for release of microplastics (MPs), which threaten the health of Chinese infants and children during daily usage. In this work, we investigated the use of polycarbonate (PC) and polypropylene (PP)...
In addition to the chemical risks, plastic bottles may release tiny particles of plastic called micro-plastics (plastic that is less than five millimeters in length or the size of a sesame seed). As discussed earlier, microplastics are very harmful to marine life as they can be ingested over ...
在增加水体样品采样量后,较为准确的估算了淡水生态系统中的微塑料污染。 Geochemistry and environmental effects of potentially toxic elements, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and microplastics in coastal sediments of the Persian Gulf 波斯湾沿岸沉积物中潜在有毒元素,多环芳烃和微塑料的地球化学和环境影响 沿海地...
Previous researchhas also found microplastics present in tap water, though far less than in bottled water. Are plastic water bottles bad for you? Researchers are unsure just how risky microscopic pieces of plastics are for people — it is a subject of ongoing research. ...
New research found that boiling water may be able to remove up to 90 percent of microplastics. Find out why that's important and the dangers of plastics.
This Simple Trick Gets Rid of Microplastics In Tap Water The CDC says not all filters are created equal. This is very true, especially with the filters in water bottles, so pay attention to manufacturer descriptions."Some filters can remove parasites such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia if used ...
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was common, which is not unusual as it’s what many water bottles are made of. PET probably enters the water when the bottle is squeezed, exposed to heat, or when the cap is screwed off and on. However, compared to PET...
soft bottle, it fits in standard size hydration bladders, it works with many gravity systems, or you can stick it atop a hard plastic water bottle, for example. It filters bacteria, parasites, chemicals, heavy metals, microplastics, and more for tasty drinking water at home or on the go....
Eurythenes plasticus, a new amphipod crustaceans occurring in marine habitats, was named after the plastic waste found in its hindgut by researchers. The particle found was about 649.648 μm long and was 83.74% similar to PET, a common polymer used in bottles, food packaging, and textile fab...
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 Health, Environment and Social Determinants of ...
