As of now, scientists don't know the extent to which microplastics and nanoplastics may be affecting our health, but studies have indicated a strong correlation between exposure to these particles and ...

"That emphasis validates a lot of the information we've learned." Scientists make alarming discovery about impacts of drinking bottled water: 'Higher than anticipated' first appeared on The Cool Down.

Bottled water may expose people to more nanoplastic particles than treated tap water, largely due to plastics shed from ...

Some brands of bottled water contain significantly higher levels of microplastics than tap water, according to new research ...

A reusable electrokinetic filtration platform that can filter more than 99% of ultrafine nanoplastic particles smaller than 50 nm from water purification systems — even under commercial-level ...

As concerns rise about the effects of tiny plastic particles on human health, Flinders University researchers have led new research on whether nanoplastics can accumulate or cause damage in ...

New research shows that nanoplastics in water can strengthen bacteria, raising concerns about drinking water safety.

Tiny plastic particles may be quietly reshaping microbial life in drinking water systems. Nanoplastics already raise fears because people can ingest them directly. Now scientists say these tiny partic ...

Are small plastic particles really present throughout the human body, or is the science still too uncertain to support such ...

Is anyone really surprised to learn that bottled drinking water is loaded with tiny bits of plastic? The bottles are, after all, plastic. So are the caps. It stands to reason that microscopic bits of ...

Researchers from Australia's Flinders University have led new study on whether nanoplastics can accumulate or cause damage in kidneys, the body's major blood filtering system, said a news release on ...
