Tiny plastic particles float inside tap water, and it's still unclear how they impact our health. But boiling the water for 5 minutes could remove most of them, a new study finds. most of them

    uh… it seems like it… if that is the case, the whole article is misleading at best.

      Would that just mean boiling water and then filtering it?

      If so, doesn’t seem as misleading so much as just missing an extra step for a headline. Edit: of course, in addition to the hard water specification.
