A scientific review of more than 140 studies found that people who rely on bottled water ingest far more microplastic particles each year than tap water drinkers — by a wide margin.

Previous research links tiny plastic particles to a range of adverse health conditions but largely stops short of ...

Microplastics have shifted from an abstract pollution problem in distant oceans to a concrete health issue inside our own ...

Icebergs float on water because the underlying liquid water has a higher density than the iceberg. Liquid water itself has its highest density at 4°C—one of the so-called anomalies of water, i.e.

The average one-liter plastic bottle of water contains levels of “nanoplastics” that are 100 times higher than previously thought, according to a new study. The peer-reviewed study, the first to test ...

Biochar made from corn cobs can remove microplastics and ammonia from water, offering a low-cost, reusable filter made from ...

Scientists studying how tiny particles of plastic affect our everyday lives say that the amount of nanoplastics found in bottled water is between 10 to 100 times higher than researchers had previously ...

Researchers from Columbia University and Rutgers University found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic fragments in a typical liter of bottled water. The study was published Monday in the Proceedings of ...

A collaborative team of experimental and computational physical chemists has made an important discovery in the field of electrochemistry, shedding light on the movement of water molecules near metal ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Scientists have detected water molecules on the surface of an ...

At this point, it’s common knowledge that bottled water contains microplastics — fragments of the insidious material that can be as small as a bacterial cell. But the problem is much worse than ...
