A recent study found that a person consumes around 240,000 tiny plastic particles from one liter of bottled water, raising concerns about the potential health impacts of micro-nano plastics. Researchers developed a new imaging technique to estimate the quantity of microplastics in bottled water and found significantly higher levels than previously reported. The study also identified the presence of nanoplastics, which are believed to be more toxic. While the health impacts of microplastics are still under review, the International Bottled Water Association claims there is no scientific consensus on the potential health impacts of nano- and microplastic particles, and media reports about these particles in drinking water only serve to scare consumers unnecessarily.
