Better than drinking whatever tf is coming out of my tap.

Tarnation, I drink sparkling water nearly every day.

the Sajedi et el review cites papers with figures of around 1000 plastic particles per litre for bottled water and a toxicity study (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...) in mice with a billion particles per litre. A billion is a lot more than a thousand, also we're not mice @inmice.bsky.social

Article seems to imply 90,000 tiny particles is a lot... but in a single breath we can inhale more than 90,000 tiny (aerosol) particles so extra 90,000 over a year is kind of in the noise so maybe nothing to worry about? Could get extra 90,000 from single BBQ.

🥹😫Meanwhile they also spend much more money!

They have many reasons to stop in that case!

whoa, that’s wild. so basically, drinking water could be a whole microplastic snack? someone hand me a brine jar; i’m out here trying to avoid a plastic buffet!

And single use plastics are a plague on the Earth 🌎

Another case for the return of glass bottles

American or European?

Poland Spring can kiss my ass, as far as business practices and taking care of the planet. 😡 But I agree, get the safest out of the bunch and do our best is all we can do these days 😭

oh this is exciting. i love drinking plastics 🙄

The filter is cheaper than buying bottled water
