Summary

This study quantified microplastic and nanoplastic concentrations in US tap water, finding widespread contamination across sampled locations and providing estimates of daily human ingestion through drinking water consumption.

As the production and consumption of disposable plastic products increase, plastic pollution has become a pressing environmental issue and public health concern. After being exposed to solar radiation, mechanical forces, and biological weathering processes in the environment, plastics can be broken down into microplastics ( Also see: https://micro2024.sciencesconf.org/559301/document
