High levels of nanoplastics found in bottled water

Use this story and the summary slide to help 14–16 learners better understand nanoparticles with this real-world context. Scientists have discovered that bottled water has a lot more nanoplastics than previously thought. They found that 90% of the particles in the water they tested were nanoplastics. This reveals how ubiquitous nanoplastics are and why it’s important to learn about them and their effects on our environment and health.
