Does Boiling Water Remove Microplastics?
Microplastics have become a pervasive environmental issue, and their presence in drinking water is a growing concern. These tiny plastic particles can originate from a variety of sources, including the breakdown of larger plastic waste, clothing fibers, or even the products used in our everyday lives. Microplastic contamination has been identified prevalently almost everywhere in the environment and even in human biological samples. As people become more aware of the potential health risks posed by microplastics, many are wondering if boiling water can help remove these particles from drinking water.
