Summary:

• **Bottled Water Has Tiny Plastic Particles**: Scientists in Columbus discovered that bottled water contains very small pieces of plastic called nanoplastics that are too tiny to see with your eyes. These plastic particles come from the plastic bottles themselves and can get into the water you drink.

• **Tap Water is Cleaner**: The study found that tap water from your kitchen sink has much fewer of these tiny plastic particles than bottled water. This means that drinking water straight from the tap at home is actually a better choice for your health than buying water in plastic bottles.
