Boiling tap water can remove 90 percent of microplastics
Boiling tap water can remove 90 percent of microplastics
Tiny plastic particles float inside tap water, and it's still unclear how they impact our health. But boiling the water for 5 minutes could remove most of them, a new study finds. most of them

Luckily I have well water...probably some of the cleanest water on Earth...I've tested it several times with kits.
For now.
Probably for a very long time...we live in a very remote area...in the wilderness of Maine...our county has never allowed commercial development...the only things here are camps/cabins/homes.
There is microplastic in Antarctica. Unless your well feeds on an ancient aquifer instead of groundwater it will still be contaminated.

I'm pretty sure microplastics have even been detected in rainwater.
But what about the counties upstream of you?
I don't believe that's how aquifers work.
Maine doesn't really have anyone "upstream".
No Washington, D.C. anymore?
???
ow never mind haha. I thought you lived there in the past. lol
No worries.
for... now.
You tested it for microplastics? They're everywhere. Even on top of mountains
The Marianna Trench contains microplastics. (not a meme)
The eggs of all newly born children contain microplastics. (not a meme)
But this person's water-well. Free and clear. I think the key is this their well is outside of the environment. (meme)
