Researchers traced microplastic contamination through the Bedadung River water treatment chain in Indonesia, from intake to consumer taps, at seven sampling points. MPs were present throughout the system, with concentrations declining through treatment stages but not reaching zero, indicating residual MP exposure in treated drinking water.
Drinking plastic: a study of microplastic concentrations in drinking water from rural and urban sources in Mali, Africa
Researchers measured microplastic concentrations in drinking water from rural and urban sources in Mali, Africa, finding microplastics in all samples and identifying higher concentrations in urban supplies, with implications for human health in a region with limited water treatment infrastructure.
Analysis of Microplastic Content in Surface Water of the Gajah Mungkur Reservoir in Indonesia
Researchers analyzed surface water from Indonesia's Gajah Mungkur Reservoir, a drinking water source, and found microplastics at every sampling location, with concentrations ranging from 340 to 820 particles per cubic meter. The dominant shapes were filaments and fibers, and the plastics identified included polypropylene and polystyrene. The highest contamination was found at an upstream river inlet, suggesting that rivers are a key delivery route for microplastics into the reservoir. The findings raise concerns about microplastic exposure through drinking water drawn from Indonesian surface water sources.
First assessment of occurrence, characteristics and human exposure of microplastics in bottled drinking water, Nepal
Researchers conducted the first assessment of microplastics in bottled drinking water from Nepal's mountain, hill, and Terai regions, finding microplastics in all 35 samples tested (mean 118 items/L), with fiber-shaped particles dominating at 71.76%, establishing a baseline for this developing-country context.
Occurrence, characterization, and removal efficiency of microplastics in point-of-use drinking water systems: A case study in Dogonbadan, Iran
Researchers sampled inlet and outlet water from point-of-use drinking water systems in Iran and found that rather than removing microplastics, these systems actually increased average concentrations from 11.66 to 20 MPs/L, with polycarbonate and polypropylene as dominant polymer types.
Measurement and daily consumption of microplastics in drinking water from a Small Island Developing State—Fiji: from freshwater to groundwater sources
Researchers conducted the first baseline study of microplastics in drinking water sources across Fiji, including raw, treated, tap, rain, ground, and bottled water. They found microplastics present in all water types, with fibers being the most common form, and estimated daily ingestion rates for different age groups. The study highlights that small island developing states face significant microplastic exposure through their drinking water supply.
Prevalence and implications of microplastics in potable water system: An update
This review summarizes current knowledge on microplastic contamination in drinking water systems worldwide, covering sources, detection methods, and potential health implications. Researchers found that microplastics are present in both tap and bottled water, with fibers and fragments being the most common types detected. The study highlights the need for standardized testing methods and regulatory limits to protect public health from microplastic exposure through drinking water.
Factors influencing microplastic contamination in bottled drinking water in Indonesia: a systematic review
This systematic review found that bottled drinking water in Indonesia contains microplastics, with contamination levels influenced by packaging type, bottle material, and storage conditions.
