A scientist warns that daily consumption of bottled water introduces tens of thousands of micro- and nanoplastics into the body, which may cause chronic health issues such as inflammation, hormone disruption, and neurological damage, though long-term effects are still not fully understood. Education and awareness are crucial to mitigate these risks.

Scientists are raising concerns about the safety of both tap and bottled water due to contamination with chemicals such as PFAS and microplastics. While tap water is regulated and monitored for pollutants, there are still unknown chemicals that may pose risks. Bottled water, on the other hand, can contain plastic particles and may also be contaminated during the bottling process. Filtering tap water can improve taste and remove some contaminants, but it's still a matter of personal choice. Ultimately, the scientists recommend carrying metal water bottles and drinking tap water, as there's no evidence that bottled water is any cleaner than processed tap water.

A study by Columbia University researchers found hundreds of thousands of nanoplastics in popular bottled water brands, raising concerns about potential health risks associated with consuming these particles. Nanoplastics, which are too small to be seen by the naked eye, can potentially invade human cells and disrupt cellular processes. While more research is needed to fully understand the health implications, the presence of nanoplastics in bottled water adds to the environmental reasons for opting for tap water instead. The study highlights the need for further investigation into the sources of nanoplastics in water and their potential impact on human health.

A study by Columbia University researchers found hundreds of thousands of nanoplastics in popular bottled water brands, raising concerns about potential health risks. Nanoplastics, too small to be seen by microscope, can invade human cells and disrupt cellular processes. While the health effects of nanoplastics are still unclear, experts worry about their potential to carry environmental pollutants and toxins. The presence of nanoplastics in bottled water adds to existing environmental reasons for choosing tap water over bottled water, despite ongoing research on the topic.

A study by Columbia University researchers found hundreds of thousands of nanoplastics in popular bottled water brands, raising concerns about potential health impacts. Nanoplastics, too small to be seen by microscope, can invade human cells and disrupt cellular processes. While the exact health effects are still unknown, previous research has shown adverse effects of microplastic exposure on cell viability. The presence of diverse types of plastics in bottled water, likely from the bottling process and packaging, adds to environmental reasons for choosing tap water over bottled water.
