Microplastic Contamination and Life Cycle Assessment of Bottled Drinking Water
Summary
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in bottled drinking water and found that the plastic packaging itself releases microplastic particles that can enter the human body and cause oxidative stress in tissues — raising questions about whether bottled water, widely assumed to be clean, may be a significant source of plastic exposure.
Microplastic released from bottled water is found to be an anthropogenic contaminant affecting human health. Microplastic particles can lead to oxidative stress if it enters the human tissue. Most microplastic particles are found to be in size range of...
