The average one-liter plastic bottle of water contains levels of “nanoplastics” that are 100 times higher than previously thought, according to a new study.

Bottled water contains millions of small particles, thousands of which are nanoplastics so tiny they can invade the body’s cells, a study finds.

Plastics were present in all three of the popular bottled water brands scientists tested, and 90% of them were tiny particles called nanoplastics, which are the result of disposed plastic waste.

Scientists using advanced laser scanning techniques found an average of 240,000 plastic particles in a one-liter bottle of water - thousands of times more particles than previously found.

A typical one-liter (33-ounce) bottle of water contains some 240,000 plastic fragments on average, according to a new study. Many of those fragments have historically gone undetected, the ...

A recent study found bottled water is laden with tiny plastic bits and associated chemicals. Editorial: Nanoplastics are dangerous — and in bottled water - Los Angeles Times ...

In a new scientific paper, three physicians report that switching from bottled water to filtered tap water could cut your microplastic intake by about 90% — from 90,000 to 4,000 particles each year.

Researchers used five samples from three brands of bottled water in the US and found that plastic particle levels ranged from 110,000 to 400,000 per litre, averaging at around 240,000 from seven ...

New research finds every liter of bottled water contains 240,000 microscopic pieces of plastic — 10 to 100 times more than previously thought. Skip to content. Grist home.

Bottled water is significantly more expensive than tap, but a middle-ground option might be purified tap water, which combines safety with affordability. Read more. about this topic.
