We’re literally going back to serfs boiling water to make it drinkable.

I’m a liberal sorry https://www.sciencealert.com/theres-a-surprisingly-easy-way-to-remove-microplastics-from-your-drinking-water

    Does boiling it even help or are they talking about boiling as a step in distillation

      boiling precipitates the water’s minerals onto the microplastic, making it bigger (and easier to filter)

      that’s why it works better with hard water than soft

        Oh okay so it’s just a maybe useful pre-filtering step that will likely still not remove all the plastic

        Thanks for reading for me so my vibes based science is more informed
