Research investigates how boiling tap water affects the presence of nanoplastics and microplastics (NMPs), which are a growing concern due to their potential health risks. The research demonstrates that boiling, especially with hard water containing calcium carbonate (CaCO3), can significantly reduce NMP concentrations. This reduction occurs because NMPs become trapped within the CaCO3 incrustants that form during boiling, a process the study suggests is an effective and simple method for decreasing human NMP intake from tap water. The study also examines how factors like water hardness, temperature, and NMP characteristics influence this removal efficiency, highlighting the potential of this method for reducing global NMP exposure.
