Tap water decreases your microplastic exposure by 90%.
Fr?
Compared to bottled water, oh yeah. Here's some articles from various places:

https://www.euronews.com/green/2024/01/09/bottled-water-contains-100-times-more-plastic-nanoparticles-than-previously-thought

Wow, that is awesome! And actually some good news for once. Thanks for the info.
