Billions are Drinking Water Contaminated with Plastic -- and US has it the Worst, Study Finds9/7/2017 According to Public Radio International, researchers from the University of Michigan and the State University of New York have tested "159 water samples from five different continents" and have concluded that the United States was the worst with plastic fibers. At 94% contamination, it leads the other 82 countries that were found to have impure water flowing in their systems. When people think of water contamination in the United States, many think of Flint. Michigan and their infamous dirty water. However, this has the potential to be more dangerous as it sweeps across the country unnoticed by the naked eye. We've seen how plastic harms animals -- what's in store for us?
Hopefully nothing too traumatic! However with recent natural disaster taking place all over our country, it is unlikely that water pollutants is at the very top of the list above assisting those citizens suffering through the forces that have left them homeless and hopeless. We can only hope for the best as we continue to better our homes and ourselves.
