    Not sure that’s correct, but 5 mm being the upper cap doesn’t mean they’re that long.

      I guess the author has just googled “define microplastics”… but when we think about microplastics in our drinking water we’re not thinking about 5mm pieces of plastic.

      A consumer grade filter will remove things larger than 0.0005mm.
