A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found alarmingly high levels of nanoplastics in popular bottled water, with an average of 240,000 plastic fragments per liter. The study used Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) microscopy to analyze the nanoplastics, revealing that 90% of the particles were nanoplastics, with nylon being the most common type. The team plans to investigate tap water for microplastics as well.
