ClearKandungan Mikroplastik Pada Air Minum Dalam Kemasan (AMDK) yang Beredar di Semarang, Jawa Tengah
This Indonesian study detected and characterized microplastics in bottled drinking water (AMDK) sold in Semarang, Central Java. Bottled water is widely consumed as a supposedly hygienic alternative to tap water, making findings of microplastic contamination in this product category particularly relevant to understanding direct human ingestion pathways.
Preliminary study of microplastic in bottled drinking water
Researchers investigated microplastic contamination in five brands of bottled drinking water from South Tangerang, Indonesia, using digital microscopy and micro-FTIR analysis. All samples were contaminated, predominantly with cellulose-based fibres ranging 0.042-3.668 mm in length, while neither polypropylene from packaging nor polyethylene from bottle caps was detected.
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. The findings raise health concerns because microplastics in drinking water can carry harmful chemicals and may affect the digestive system when consumed regularly.
Microplastics in Malaysian bottled water brands: Occurrence and potential human exposure
Researchers tested eight major bottled water brands sold in Malaysia and found microplastic particles in all of them, with concentrations varying significantly between brands. The most common types were fragments and fibers made of polyethylene and polypropylene. The study estimates daily microplastic intake from bottled water consumption and highlights the need for quality standards addressing microplastic contamination in drinking water.
Microplastics in bottled water: assessing drinking safety in Nepal
Researchers quantified microplastics in 17 brands of bottled drinking water from five provinces of Nepal using vacuum filtration, finding particles in all brands with concentrations and polymer types suggesting contamination during bottling and from cap materials.
Smaller-sized micro-plastics (MPs) contamination in single-use PET-bottled water in Thailand.
This study quantified microplastics in ten brands of single-use PET-bottled water sold in Thailand, finding an average of 140 particles per liter using fluorescent staining. The results add to global evidence that bottled water is a consistent route of human microplastic exposure and suggest that plastic packaging is a likely contamination source.
Microplastic as an written composition in bottled water: Implications for waste management
This study characterized microplastic contamination in bottled water, identifying common polymer types and particle sizes and discussing implications for waste management and the effectiveness of current filtration in bottling facilities.
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.
First evidence of microplastics and their characterization in bottled drinking water from a developing country
Scientists in a developing country analyzed 10 brands of bottled drinking water and found microplastics in all samples, with concentrations varying by brand. The most common particles were polyethylene and polypropylene fragments and fibers, likely originating from the plastic bottle caps and packaging. This study adds to evidence that bottled water is a significant source of daily microplastic intake for people worldwide.
Microplastics contamination in popular soft drinks and non-alcoholic beverages marketed in Iran: Quantity and characteristics
Researchers found microplastics in 80–90% of popular soft drinks and non-alcoholic beverages sold in Iran, detecting an average of about 22 particles per liter, with plastic fragments from PET and polyethylene packaging as the dominant types. These findings highlight that plastic beverage containers are a likely source of human microplastic ingestion and call for tighter industry monitoring.
Analisis kualitas fisik dan keberadaan mikroplastik pada air minum isi ulang di Kecamatan Medan Selayang tahun 2023
Researchers assessed the physical quality and microplastic presence in refillable gallon drinking water from dispensers in Medan Selayang district, Indonesia in 2023. Microplastics were detected in multiple samples, with fibers as the dominant form, raising concerns about the safety of refillable water systems that lack adequate filtration.
Detection of Microplastics in Bottled Water
Researchers detected microplastics in bottled water samples from Sarawak, Malaysia, contributing to the limited data on bottled water contamination in Southeast Asia and highlighting potential human exposure through a widely consumed beverage.
Characterization of microplastics in water bottled in different packaging by Raman spectroscopy
Researchers detected and characterized microplastics in bottled water from different packaging types using Raman spectroscopy, confirming that plastic contamination occurs across various commercial water bottle materials.
Analysis of packaged drinking water use in Indonesia in the last decades: trends, socio-economic determinants, and safety aspect
Analysis of Indonesian national survey data showed that packaged drinking water (PDW) consumption has grown at 1.24% per year since 2000, with socioeconomic status being the strongest predictor of consumption. Systematic literature review identified microplastic contamination and chemical leaching from plastic containers as key safety concerns for the 50% of Indonesians projected to use PDW by 2026.
Study of Microplastic Concentrations at the Drinking Water Depot in Sumbersari Village, Jember Regency
Researchers measured microplastic contamination in 12 refillable drinking water depots in Sumbersari, Indonesia, finding an average concentration of 7.1 particles per liter, mostly fibers and fragments. Consumers were estimated to ingest between 5.61 and 15.98 microplastic particles per liter per day.
Occurrence of microplastics in bottled water from Croatia: a Raman spectroscopy approach
Researchers analyzed six brands of bottled water sold in Croatia and found microplastics in all of them, with particles as small as 1 micrometer detected using Raman spectroscopy. The most commonly found plastics were PET and polyethylene, and interestingly, bottles made from virgin PET contained more microplastics than those made from recycled PET. The study adds to growing evidence that bottled water is a significant source of human microplastic exposure.
Assessing exposure of the Australian population to microplastics through bottled water consumption
Researchers analyzed 16 brands of bottled water sold in Australia and found microplastics present across all samples tested. The study identified polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene particles, with concentrations varying between brands and water sources.

Researchers compared the amount of microplastics released from different brands and conditions of PET water bottles, finding that UV exposure and bottle age affect how many particles leach into the water. This study highlights bottled water as a direct route of microplastic ingestion for consumers.
Estimated exposure to microplastics through national and local brands of bottled water in Central India
Researchers tested bottled water from national and local brands in central India and found microplastics in every single sample, with local brands containing about three times more than national brands. The most common particles were polyethylene and PET fragments, likely coming from the plastic bottles and caps themselves. The study estimated that people drinking bottled water in India could be consuming tens of thousands of microplastic particles per year, highlighting bottled water as a significant source of human exposure.
Investigating the pollution of bottled water by the microplastics (MPs): the effects of mechanical stress, sunlight exposure, and freezing on MPs release
Researchers analyzed 23 popular Iranian brands of bottled water and found microplastic contamination in all samples, averaging about 1,500 particles per liter with over 90 percent smaller than 10 micrometers. Mechanical stress on bottles significantly increased microplastic release, while sunlight exposure caused the most polymer degradation. The study indicates that regardless of brand or source, bottled water contains hundreds to thousands of microplastic particles per liter.
