THERE COULD BE 240,000 PLÁSTIC NANOPARTICLES IN YOUR THROWAWAY WATER BOTTLE

A recent study found that there are 240,000 identifiable plastic bits in one liter of bottled water on average.

• We refer to these as nanoplastics.

• Because nanoplastics can have major health effects and are hard to detect, they should be taken seriously. They can also cross blood-brain, tissue, and intestinal barriers

• You can install water filters on your faucets or use them to remove some of the undesirable particles before drinking the water to ensure that it is safe to consume.

• The effects of microplastics on the environment and human health are causing worry among professionals in the field of health.
  
• Even smaller than microplastics, nanoplastics are currently the subject of research. Bottled water is one of the main causes of the issue because it contains thousands of plastic particles.

• Because they are so tiny, nanoplastics can enter the bloodstream and eventually find their way to other organs and systems throughout the body. The amount of nanoplastics present in a single plastic water bottle is examined in a recent study.

• The study's author states, "Our prior research has demonstrated the pervasiveness of microplastics in New York City's waters and air, as well as their ability to carry contaminants like Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), medications, and infections." "In contrast, because of their higher partitioning rate and related nanotoxicity, nanoplastics are anticipated to have an even greater impact on the environment and human health."

Nano-Plastic in Large Quantities in Bottled Water

Only around 10% of the nanoparticles in the water samples were found to be plastics, therefore the researchers searched for seven different forms of plastic for the latest study.
