I think theoretically, but I’m not a scientist. The issue I see as a normal schmuck is that the processes that are causing it, won’t be scaled back and the average person can’t afford to filter all their drinking water. Dumping responsibility on the victim doesn’t solve the issue and it effectively makes the situation unfixable in my opinion.
I think you are correct. I probably shouldn’t have specified drinking water because there are many drinking water supplies that do remove most contaminants like microplastics.
The point still stands that plastic is in our water at this point. Rain water, ground water, ocean water, all of which play a part in the food chain that we sit at the top of.
We are consuming it everywhere and it’s not going to get better.
Wouldn't a reverse osmosis system get rid of the plastic (and everything else)?

I think there are municipal supplies that go through reverse osmosis, so it's not impossible on a larger scale

Right, it's in the plants and animals so we're totally fucked
