Great idea to do this show. The microplastics issue is so disturbing already. We are all consuming so much of it in what we drink, eat and breathe.

Would be good to see a comparison of quality between Tap Water and bottled water. I would imagine little difference though people would be freaked out by the microplastics in all water... Do you think a typical reverse osmosis filter will remove some % of microplastics?

Thanks again for the interesting content. I always thought that once we all new that plastic was everywhere we would start to throttle the production of it.

Sadly not true at all - cracker plants growing like crazy still

Even a standard pitcher filter will. Most microplastics are very large particles.

Interesting research, thank you. I use a filter installed on the tap now. But I’m still confused by the taste of this water. After studying the information, as in this article, much becomes clear. A friend has whole house system https://filterway.com/whole-house-systems/ and I noticed the taste of water, and a friend is satisfied of the positive effect on the digestion and skin condition. I’m still thinking about the cost.
