Executive Summary Commercial bottled drinking water contains measurable concentrations of synthetic polymer fragments. Peer-reviewed research demonstrates that plastic contamination spans two size classes: microplastics (particles measuring 1 micrometer to 5 millimeters) and nanoplastics (particles smaller than 1 micrometer). The primary sources of these particles include container packaging degradation, bottle cap abrasion during opening, and industrial bottling filtration m
