Tap water, a common source of hydration, is increasingly contaminated with microplastics, posing health risks globally. Studies reveal widespread microplastic presence in tap water across various countries, with the US showing particularly high levels. These microplastics can cause inflammation, endocrine disruption, and increased risk of cardiovascular events. Boiling water and filtering can remove up to 90% of microplastics.How to remove microplastics from water
