Microplastics in Bottled Water
Recent research found that a typical liter of bottled water can contain tens of thousands of tiny plastic particles, including nanoplastics small enough to enter cells. The plastic bottle itself is a major source.
Why plastic bottles shed particles
Plastic degrades with heat, light and time, releasing micro- and nanoplastics into the water. Aluminum cans don't shed plastic into your drink.
How to avoid microplastics
- Choose water packaged without plastic — like aluminum cans.
- Avoid bottles stored in heat or sunlight.
