Micro & Nano plastics
Everything about water series
A 2024 study found microplastics in 100% of humans: particles were found in the liver, brain, and other organs.
That means exposure is not occasional — it’s continuous.
A 2018 study found that some water bottles contain more than 10,000 plastic micro-particles.
A newer 2024 PNAS/Columbia-Rutgers study found 240,000 plastic particles per bottle, with roughly 90% of them nanoplastics.
Particle Size Determines the Real Risk

Particle Size Determines the Real Risk
- Particles >150 µm → mostly pass through the body
- Particles <20 µm → can cross the gut barrier
- Particles in the micron & nano range → enter tissues and bloodstream
Tastes different, but has even more nano plastics
A 2024 beverage study found the highest average microplastic concentration in industrial glass bottles.
Their summary says that the drinks in glass bottles are often 5 to 50 times higher than in plastic bottles or cans.
"Metal" caps shed nano-plastics, first at the factory, then during transportation, and then release 100'000 more when the consumer opens the bottle.
