Summary
This study detected microplastics in bottled drinking water sold in Norway, though at relatively low concentrations compared to some previously reported figures. Even low levels are noteworthy because bottled water is marketed as a clean alternative to tap water, and the findings add to growing evidence that plastic packaging itself contributes to plastic ingestion.
