Scientists Are Raising Concerns About Microplastics in Drinking Water — Here's What That Means for You If you're like most people, you probably assume your drinking water is safe—especially if you're using a filter. But a growing body of research is challenging that assumption. Environmental experts like Sarah Sajedi are raising concerns about microplastics in drinking water, particularly from everyday sources like bottled water and plastic-based filtration systems. And the issue isn't immediate toxicity—it's something more subtle, and potentially more serious. 👉 Chronic exposure over time. The Hidden Problem: Plastic in "Clean" Water Most people turn to water filters to improve water quality.

Landfilled Incinerated (burned for energy) Exported to other countries with weaker environmental controls In fact, some analyses suggest that over 90% of...
