Microplastics Research

You cannot eliminate microplastic exposure entirely. But the research shows that a handful of specific changes can reduce your intake by tens of thousands of particles per week.

Reverse osmosis is among the most effective water filtration methods for microplastics, achieving removal rates above 99%. Here's what the peer-reviewed evidence shows — and how it compares to other filters.

Bottled water is sold on the premise of purity. Multiple peer-reviewed studies document a consistent finding: it contains significantly more microplastics than filtered tap water.

Silicone kitchen items are widely promoted as a safer plastic alternative. The picture is more nuanced than the marketing suggests — here's what the research actually shows.

The average American ingests between 74,000 and 121,000 microplastic particles per year — and researchers say that's almost certainly an underestimate. Here's what the science actually shows.
