A recent study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has uncovered startlingly high levels of nanoplastics in plastic water bottles. Initially, estimates suggested 300 nanoplastics per liter of bottled water, but new findings show the actual number could range between 110,000 and 370,000 per liter. These nanoplastics are so small they're invisible under a microscope.
This significant revision in the understanding of nanoplastics in bottled water was made possible by a novel technology developed by researchers at Columbia University. This technology allows for the detailed scanning and analysis of nanoparticles in packaged water.
