Scientists have found that 83% of ordinary drinking water flowing from The taps of the inhabitants of our entire planet contain particles of plastic. TO this conclusion was made by American researchers who conducted large-scale analysis of household water from all over the world.
In the United States, pollution is highest. – here traces of polymers were found in 94.4% of water samples. Most a low indicator was found in the EU countries – 72%, which is all equally unacceptable. Ecuador’s fiber content is 75% tap water, in Indonesia – 76%, in Uganda – 81%, in India – in 82%, in Lebanon – in 94%.
Given the fact that in many countries it is customary to drink tap water, you can only guess how much plastic we use so way annually. Not everyone knows that tap water also used in the manufacture of beer, juices, carbonated drinks, milk and even clean drinking water sold for bottling and bottled (do not believe in the words of producers about artesian wells).
We are talking about tiny pieces smaller than 5 microns. plastics. Unfortunately, while scientists can’t say with accuracy, where do the polymers come from in the water supply and what danger do they carry for human health. However, it is known that plastic tends to absorb toxic chemicals from the environment, therefore, poisoning can be much more significant than optimists suggest.
