Using quality water filters can help reduce your exposure to potentially harmful microplastics, advise scientists
Research suggests that microplastics are in seafood and in the very water that you drink. While studies have yet to determine the harmful effects of microplastics on human health, experts recommend using water filters to reduce exposure to microplastics in tap water. A credit card’s worth of microplastics ingested weekly Findings from a separate study conducted by […]

Australian researchers use “green and cost-efficient” microscopic nanosprings to break down microplastic pollution
Plastic waste has unfortunately become ubiquitous in oceans and rivers today, posing a serious environmental hazard to marine creatures, ecosystems and people. In a bid to mitigate the ever-growing pollution of the world’s oceans, researchers from Australia have developed a way to clean water sources of microplastics without harming the microorganisms that live in them. Using […]

Antioxidants also shield you from the harmful effects of water contaminants, according to study
Contaminants are ever present, even in seemingly clean water. Researchers suggest that antioxidants such as vitamin C and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) may help protect you from the harmful effects of hexavalent chromium, a contaminant commonly found in drinking water. Researchers from Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Illinois looked at human cells to determine whether antioxidants […]

Can sweating remove toxins from the body? A look at the research
Since the 1990s, scientists have determined that harmful toxins from the environment accumulate within the tissues of the body. Now, researchers from the University of Alberta in Canada found that sweating helps remove these toxins, specifically a flame retardant chemical called polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Published in Biomedical Research International, the researchers highlighted that studying sweat, along with […]

Study: Can antioxidants in green tea and vitamin C protect you from toxins in drinking water?
It may sound alarming, but access to safe drinking water in the U.S. is not guaranteed. Unfortunately, around 90 contaminants are regulated under the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Act, despite multiple studies showing hundreds of contaminants present in the water supply. Despite the lack of implementation, there are still things that you can do to help keep your water clean […]
