Microplastics in water actively produce harmful chemicals
Original: Microplastics in water aren't inert and make damaging chemicals on their own
New research finds that microplastics floating in water are not chemically inert as long assumed: they react on their own and generate damaging chemicals in the process. The findings, reported by Ars Technica, add to growing concern about how widespread plastic particles affect drinking water and the environment, beyond the physical risks of ingestion.
Why now: Fresh science news challenging the common assumption that microplastics are harmless inert particles
