What is your thoughts on plastic fibers being found in drinking water around the world?

There are theories this will cause health problems in the decades to come

A greater concern than that is the chemicals from the drugs used my many, not fully absorbed and going into sewage plants.

Then purged back into major waterways with these chemicals not removed by standard sewage treatment methods. Most notably, ethinol estradiol in birth control pills.

That ends the human race most likely. So if we are going to eventually become extinct I don't see much reason to worry about plastics.

@MikefromEP You're surrounded by it all day long and then freak out with a Rare large visible example of what you just stepped in or breathed in!

Move to unindustrialized countryside!

@Some1Else Well water is becoming more and more contaminated by fertilizers leaching into the ground from farming and Fracking of oil wells

Fish studies don't lie. This has been documented for close to thirty years now.

That big Pharma can afford to make any studies or research papers go away isn't in doubt.

I'm not panicing. I'm old enough to not care. Go ahead. Keep ignoring it.

It's fake news.
Too tired to explain though.

@MikefromEP which end of the water plant did they get plastic particles from?
Filters and reverse osmosis wouldn't let a virus through so plants, so how can a plastic bit get through!

@Some1Else I have a rodi filter system at my sink and ppm is never zero. City systems handle a larger flow of water and can't stop everything. Do a test of the tap water at your place and I bet it comes out around 140 ish

Adding cancer to our water. Other than sugar, yeast and mould being the main causes of cancer, but you know what came into this world and all of a sudden cancer evolves? the answer is plastic.

@RadiantRuby Your guess is as good as mine. Many bottling companies use city water and the added component of plastic bottles .. It is a mind screw when you think about it

@SW-User Fast foods are served in plastic wrap to varying degrees...

I hope it all ends.
I've given up raging or getting upset at this point.
