Using data from NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), Southwest Research Institute scientists have discovered water molecules on the surface of an asteroid. “Asteroids are ...

A review of more than 140 studies found that many micro- and nanoplastics in bottled water don’t come from the water itself, ...

Daily consumers of bottled water ingest over 90,000 more microplastic particles than people who drink tap water, according to a new review of research that calls for urgent regulatory measures to ...

Scientists studying how tiny particles of plastic affect our everyday lives say that the amount of nanoplastics found in bottled water is between 10 to 100 times higher than researchers had previously ...

Plastic waste is no longer just an eyesore floating on the surface of rivers and seas. A growing body of research now shows that it is reshaping the chemistry and biology of water itself, creating ...

The average one-liter plastic bottle of water contains levels of “nanoplastics” that are 100 times higher than previously thought, according to a new study. The peer-reviewed study, the first to test ...

At this point, it’s common knowledge that bottled water contains microplastics — fragments of the insidious material that can be as small as a bacterial cell. But the problem is much worse than ...
