93 percent of bottled water contains microplastics, study finds
Orb Media’s recent study titled "Microplastics Found In Global Bottled Water" reinforces what Dr. Michael Vaughn recommends to his patients.
Vaughn swore off the product after taking a trip to a local bottling company.
Up until recently, she’s been drinking them, even after the sun has heated the plastic.
"I’m switching to tap," said Callaway.
After testing more than 250 bottles from 11 brands of water, Orb Media found that one single bottle can hold thousands of microscopic plastic particles.
Essentially, the study showed that 93 percent of the water bottle samples contained microplastics.
Orb Media found the highest level of microplastics in a Nestle Pure Life sample, which had 10,390 particles per liter.
"You’re getting microparticles now.
What else are you getting that aren’t particles that you can’t see with the fluorescing?"
Vaughn wondered aloud.
