Bottled Water Nanoplastics Are Not Simple Bottle Fragments
A new study in Advanced Science uses mid‑infrared photothermal microscopy to examine nanoplastics in bottled water one particle at a time. Researchers found 9.9 × 10⁴ particles per litre, with nanoplastics making up 64 % of the load, and identified PET as the dominant polymer (88.2 %). The analysis revealed that particles of the same polymer exhibit diverse shapes, circularities, and molecular crystallinity, indicating distinct origins and degradation histories. These findings expose the limitations of bulk counts and highlight the need for detailed particle‑level profiling.
