Iniulat ng AI
A new study warns that single-use plastic water bottles release nano- and microplastics that pose chronic health risks. Led by Sarah Sajedi at Concordia University, the research estimates bottled water drinkers ingest up to 90,000 more particles annually than tap water users. These tiny pollutants can enter the bloodstream and affect vital organs, leading to inflammation and other issues.
