Microplastics Are In Most Bottled Water, The WHO clarifies

Microplastics are frequently detected in drinking water, but there is no sufficient indication thus far that this professes a potential hazard to humansaccording to a recent evaluation by the World Health Organization.

The WHO properly called for a marked decrease in plastic pollution to carefully restrict the future threats of such “microplastics.

“We urgently need to know more about the health impact of microplastics because they are everywhere – including in our drinking water,” states Dr Maria Neira, Director, Department of Public Health.
Dr Neira added, “Based on the limited information we have, microplastics in drinking water don’t appear to pose a health risk at current levels. But we need to find out more. We also need to stop the rise in plastic pollution worldwide.”
