Microplastics are now found in essential drinking water sources.
Plastic pollution is finally receiving the attention it needs.
Scientists are carrying an increasing number of studies, while the general public gets access to information on the subject more than ever before.
These have recently been found pretty much everywhere scientists have looked.
I guess, it was just a matter of time before these dangerous pollutants reached one of our main sources of life- drinking water.
These particular type of aquifers are known for their highly porous geology.
This makes it very easy for surface water to penetrate.
What is more important to note here, however, is that such groundwater sources account for about a quarter of the entire supply of drinking water on a global scale.
The team collected and analyzed seventeen samples.
In the mean time, let’s all focus on raising awareness, and reducing the use of plastics as much as we can.
