WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE.

"The scale of global microplastic contamination is only starting to become clear, with studies in Germany finding fibres and fragments in
all of the 24 beer brands they tested, as well as in honey and sugar. In Paris in 2015, researchers discovered
microplastic falling from the air, which they estimated deposits three to 10 tonnes of fibres on the city each year, and that
it was also present in the air in people’s homes."
"How microplastics end up in drinking water is for now a mystery, but
the atmosphere is one obvious source, with fibres shed by the
everyday wear and tear of clothes and carpets. Tumble dryers are another potential source, with
almost 80% of US households having dryers that usually vent to the open air."
"Plastic fibres may also be flushed into water systems, with a recent study finding that
each cycle of a washing machine could release 700,000 fibres into the environment."
"
Bottled water may not provide a microplastic-free alternative to tapwater, as the they were also found in a few samples of commercial bottled water tested in the US for Orb."
"In Beirut, Lebanon, the water supply comes from
natural springs but 94% of the samples
were contaminated."
"Previous work has been largely focused on plastic pollution in the oceans, which suggests people are eating microplastics via contaminated
seafood."
Does someone seriously suggest that a water filter on your household water system is going to have a significant impact on your exposure to microplastic, which comes from your clothes, your carpets, the food you eat, and is in the very air you breathe?
