Worried about the harmful microplastics in your water? You just need to boil and strain it before consumption

Scientists find boiling tap water, then filtering it, removes up to 90% of microplastics, offering a simple solution to potential health risks.
The article from Business Insider discusses a study revealing that boiling and straining tap water can significantly reduce the presence of microplastics. Researchers found that by boiling water for five minutes, the microplastics, which are often less dense than water, can be encapsulated by limescale (calcium carbonate) and then easily removed through a simple filtration process like using a coffee filter. This method was particularly effective in hard water, where the limescale formation aids in trapping the microplastics. The study suggests that this simple technique could be a practical solution for households to decrease their intake of microplastics, which are known to pose health risks due to their potential to carry harmful chemicals and pathogens.
