RE: Student invents a filter that removes 96% of microplastics from drinking water/Estudiante inventa un filtro que elimina el 96% de los microplásticos del agua potable

in #scienceyesterday

I imagine that they have not realized that depending on the size of the microplastic, certain systems are more damaged than others. If we consider a microplastic around 5 mm, the vast majority can be removed mechanically.

The problem, the big problem, is microplastics less than 1000 nm can cross cell membranes, where all the diseases we suffer from appear.

For me they should eliminate all plastic, as pFAS is another mistake by the industry.
