A Simple Method to Remove Microplastics in Water
Scientists have discovered that people can remove some microplastics from their drinking water with materials they may already have, especially if they are in an area with hard water. In fact, when it comes to microplastics, the minerals in hard water may even be considered a bonus.
When water is boiled and let cool, the minerals capture the microplastics in a film. Then you can pour the water through a coffee filter, which will remove the mineral scum and microplastics, leaving the water cleaner than before.
