“Microplastics in drinking water stopped being a fringe concern the moment the studies started counting them. This overview synthesizes the recent science — how many particles are in an average liter, how much more show up in bottled water than tap, where they're coming from, and what current filtration actually removes. The science has moved faster than most consumers realize.”
