“Most single-use plastic bottles of water end up in oceans and landfills where they break down into chemical-leaching microplastics that threaten human.
Stockholm, Sweden, March 8, 2021 – A new study published by researchers at the PennEnvironment Research & Policy Center found microplastics in 100 percent of samples taken from 50 iconic rivers, lakes and streams in Pennsylvania. The researchers described their finding as troubling and said “it’s clear that the scope of plastic pollution in Pennsylvania extends far beyond what was previously thought”.
Dave Noble, spokesperson at Bluewater, a Swedish water company battling the need for single use plastic water bottles with innovative water tech and drinking bottle solutions, said the PennEnvironment study is the latest evidence of the pernicious plastics pollution plague sweeping the planet.
