Identification, Quantification, and Presence of Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Beverages Around the World
Researchers reviewed studies from around the world examining microplastics in beverages including water, beer, soft drinks, and other drinks. They found microplastics were present in virtually all beverage types tested, with concentrations ranging widely and particles originating from water sources, packaging materials, and processing surfaces. The findings raise concerns about ongoing low-level human exposure through everyday drinks.
Contamination of food and beverages with microplastic particles
This review summarizes evidence on microplastic contamination of food and beverages, highlighting the growing accumulation of microplastics across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and their presence in the organs of various organisms including humans.
A Systematic Review of Microplastic Detection in Water
This systematic review summarizes current methods for detecting microplastics in water sources. The research highlights significant challenges in accurately measuring these tiny plastic particles, with different techniques yielding very different results. Better detection methods are essential for understanding how much microplastic is present in the water people drink and use daily.
Microplastics and nanoplastics in drinking water and beverages: occurrence and human exposure
This review examines the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in drinking water and beverages across different countries and regions, finding significant variation in contamination levels. Differences in water treatment efficiency, pollution sources, and the amount of water people consume all influence human exposure estimates, which can vary by orders of magnitude between studies. The study highlights the need for standardized measurement methods and calls attention to the poorly understood risks posed by nanoplastics in what we drink.
Review of micro- and nanoplastic contamination in the food chain
This review examines the contamination of the human food chain with micro- and nanoplastics, from seafood and drinking water to processed foods and packaging. Researchers found that while plastic particles are widely present in food and beverages, the actual health impacts on humans remain largely unknown due to inconsistent study methods. The study calls for standardized analytical approaches to properly assess dietary microplastic exposure and its potential risks.
A Critical Review of Extraction and Identification Methods of Microplastics in Wastewater and Drinking Water
