Tap water contains about 1.67–2.08 ug/ml of nanoplastics on the larger side (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00139...)

So this article was working with concentrations 10x larger on mice (usually worse ability to filter). Beyond that, they admitted that microplastics did not induce an effect which is most of the plastics found in the ocean, etc...

"1.67–2.08 ug/ml" is incorrect. Your link states "1.67–2.08 ug/L". In other words, the paper is about the effects of nanoplastic concentrations which are 10,000x greater than in tap water.

Yeah ok, I'm going to keep drinking tap-water and stop reading clickbait "science" articles.

Many nasty chemicals are attracted to plastic particles. As bad as the plastics are, they may be carrying something nastier.

Get some nice PCBs stuck to plastic particles and they may not trip contamination sensors, but get deposited in your body where the PCBs become mobile again and end up in your system.
