TRANSCRIPT
Researchers have discovered a simple method to remove microplastics from water by boiling and filtering it, effectively reducing nanoplastic concentrations by up to 90%.
This approach, tested on both soft and hard tap water, leverages the natural precipitation of calcium carbonate in hard water to trap plastic fragments, making it accessible for household use. The study highlights the potential of drinking boiled water as a long-term strategy to mitigate global exposure to microplastics, urging further research into its health implications and widespread adoption as a preventive measure.
