Microplastic pollution in drinking water

Scientists have demonstrated the presence of microplastics (MPs) in tap and bottled water at various locations. On a global scale, there is still very limited information on MP pollution drinking water. There are huge differences reported concentration, but no clear conclusion can be drawn if content higher or Up to date, it not these discrepancies arise from between examined systems quantification limits, accuracy applied analytical techniques, contamination during sampling, processing, analysis. Furthermore, uptake fate gained through animal cell toxicity studies limited. To define limit tolerance for plastic water, comparable data resulting quality assured controlled methods more potential MPs human body needed.
