Bottled water contains hundreds of thousands of potentially dangerous plastic fragments: Study

Nanoplastik in Flaschen: Die unsichtbare Gefahr

Ob Limonaden, Säfte oder Mineralwasser: Rund 1,6 Milliarden Plastikflaschen landen Jahr für Jahr allein in Österreich in den Supermarktregalen. Dass viele von ihnen später in Form von Mikroplastik in die Umwelt und somit letztlich auch uns selbst gelangen, ist bekannt. Doch das Problem beginnt schon viel früher und ist weitaus größer, je kleiner die Partikel werden, als bislang angenommen.

Bottled water could be putting tiny previously undetected fragments of plastic into your bloodstream and organs

The peer-reviewed study, published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the first to evaluate bottled water for the presence of “nanoplastics”.

Flessenwater bevat honderdduizenden minuscule plasticdeeltjes: “Veel meer dan eerdere studies waarnamen”

Een liter flessenwater bevat honderdduizenden micro- en nanodeeltjes plastic. Dat blijkt uit een nieuw onderzoek van de Columbia Universiteit in New York, waarover ‘De Standaard’ dinsdag bericht heeft. Het is de eerste keer dat ook nanopartikels door onderzoekers aangetroffen zijn kunnen worden in flessenwater.

Scientists find about a quarter million invisible nanoplastic particles in a liter of bottled water

The average liter of bottled water has nearly a quarter million invisible pieces of ever so tiny nanoplastics, detected and categorized for the first time by a microscope using dual lasers.

A reason to think twice before drinking bottled water

Medical Watch Digest for Jan 9 A reason to think twice before drinking bottled water. The average bottle of water contains nearly a quarter million fragments of nano plastics. That's the finding of researchers writing in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Here's why doctors say this study is alarming.Nano plastics have the potential to impact human cells. For this study, researchers looked at samples from three c…
