Thanks for posting about this - upvoted! I read the same Guardian story myself this morning, and have seen similar ones about microplastics in the ocean before. However the prevalence in drinking water is, I believe largely under reported so far. Spread the word!

I have a lot more links about this issue in my recent post on the same topic: https://steemit.com/health/@o1o1o1o/microplastic-particles-and-fibers-are-turning-up-everywhere-even-in-german-beers

I've included some information about how you can filter microplastics from the air in your home and in drinking water. It's a huge problem and people are only just beginning to grasp the magnitude of it - plus we don't even have much idea of how this microplastic burden is affecting our health and that other life on earth.
