Tiny plastic particles float inside tap water, and it's still unclear how they impact our health. But boiling the water for 5 minutes could remove most of them, a new study finds. most of them
Probably for a very long time…we live in a very remote area…in the wilderness of Maine…our county has never allowed commercial development…the only things here are camps/cabins/homes.
Luckily I have well water…probably some of the cleanest water on Earth…I’ve tested it several times with kits.
You tested it for microplastics? They’re everywhere. Even on top of mountains
The Marianna Trench contains microplastics. (not a meme)
The eggs of all newly born children contain microplastics. (not a meme)
But this person’s water-well. Free and clear. I think the key is this their well is outside of the environment. (meme)
For now.

There was an article a few days back with microplastics working through “untouched by humans” layers of lake silt.
Stay positive, friend.
But what about the counties upstream of you?
Maine doesn’t really have anyone “upstream”.
I don’t believe that’s how aquifers work.
No Washington, D.C. anymore?
???
ow never mind haha. I thought you lived there in the past. lol
No worries.
There is microplastic in Antarctica. Unless your well feeds on an ancient aquifer instead of groundwater it will still be contaminated.
for… now.
I’m pretty sure microplastics have even been detected in rainwater.
At least until the fracking crews come.
