Bottles of plastic water have been found to harbor hundreds of thousands of toxic microscopic plastic particles, according to new research. Consuming water from plastic bottles may result in the ingestion of minuscule plastic bits, which scientists fear can accumulate in vital organs with potential health consequences.
Nanoplastics, linked to cancer, fertility issues, and birth defects, were discovered in an average of 240,000 particles per one-liter bottle, compared to 5.5 particles per one liter of tap water.
These microscopic particles carry phthalate chemicals, known to interfere with hormone production and associated with various health problems.
