Mason was the coauthor of a 2018 study that first detected the existence of micro- and nanoplastics in 93% of samples of bottled water sold by 11 different brands in nine countries. (The authors declined to mention which brands of bottled water they studied.) Now, with this new approach, we will be able to start doing so.”CNN reached out to the International Bottled Water Association, which represents the industry, for a response to the study’s findings. For example, if the nanoplastics floating in the bottled water weren’t from the bottle itself, where did they come from? Another important question: Which has fewer nanoplastics and chemical residues, bottled or tap water?
