Absolutely not something to be given for granted.

Tap water decreases your microplastic exposure by 90%.
Fr?
Compared to bottled water, oh yeah. Here’s some articles from various places:

https://www.euronews.com/green/2024/01/09/bottled-water-contains-100-times-more-plastic-nanoparticles-than-previously-thought
I just took some I recognised as “ok” sources, but there are thousands of articles about it elsewhere too.
Wow, that is awesome! And actually some good news for once. Thanks for the info.
You still can find glass bottle to avoid drinking plastics. Bottled water usually have less PFAS but it is variable and depends where you live.
This is false: Water in glass bottles often contains more microplastics than water from plastic bottles, likely due to cleaning agents.

Nano plastics particules are everywhere. As I said it is mainly conditioned by where you live, the water and the production process. https://www.regentstudies.com/2024/09/12/glass-vs-plastic-bottle-vs-metal/
I reuse tequila bottles to store tap water, which I leave in the sun, for the uv to break down the chlorine.
Glass absorbs UV light, it’s pointless
Other light does damage too. You can see it on materials at which sun shines through a window.
