Does using a plastic bottle for your water carry any sort of effect? I'm sure all the things stack up but I find it hard to believe that using a plastic water bottle instead of metal one really matters.
Published this week: 100x more microplastics from water bottles as thought before source https://www.sciencealert.com/bottled-water-is-packed-full-of-up-to-100x-more-microplastic-than-expected
Hah I actually posted the same study in a reply. Though it was a CNN article about the study.
Don't link big companies man, find an independent source especially for scientific stuff :) #cnnsucks
It's the same study
Obviously :)
One reason to use well known sites for such links at least for me is that I'm not familiar with the field and can't for myself review how significant or well done the study is and can't parse it that well. So I kinda have to outsource that and hope the more repubtable sites have some knowledge about what they're reporting.
I know CNN isn't great but it's well known and at least somewhat reputable, which makes me think the study might have something going for it. With sites I haven't heard of that's more difficult for me to gauge.
