Summary

Researchers responded to scientific commentary on their earlier finding that boiling tap water can reduce nanoplastic and microplastic content in drinking water. They addressed methodological questions and reaffirmed that the calcium carbonate deposits formed during boiling can encapsulate and help remove plastic particles. The study supports the idea that a simple household practice like boiling water may offer a partial approach to reducing microplastic intake from tap water.
