How Boiling and Filtering Tap Water Can Remove Up to 90% of Microplastics
Microplastics—tiny plastic fragments smaller than 5 millimeters—are now ubiquitous in our environment. From oceans to soil to the very water we drink, these particles pose growing concerns for human health and the planet. Recent research offers a surprisingly simple strategy: boiling and filtering tap water. According to a new study in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, this method can remove up to 90% of microplastics from hard water and around 25% from soft water. Here’s what you need to know to protect yourself and your family.
Tiny Plastics, Big Problems: How Microplastics May Be Fueling Antibiotic Resistance
Imagine a world where the medicines we rely on to fight infections become ineffective, not because of overuse alone, but due to the pervasive presence of tiny plastic particles in our environment. Recent scientific discoveries suggest this alarming scenario might be closer to reality than we thought.
