Yikes! Scientists have been studying plastic-based environmental pollution by looking at microplastic particles. A concerning study of microscopic plastic particles at the sub-micron level shows bottled water is more polluted than tap water.
A new study published in the peer-reviewed journal « Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences » provides an unprecedented look at the mysterious world of plastic pollution. A team of researchers at Columbia University developed a new optical imaging technology, which they used for rapid analysis of nanoplastic particles in bottled water.
The imaging solution allowed scientists to profile individual « nanoplastic » particles. Nanoplastics measure less than one micrometer or less than one-seventieth the width of a human hair.
