You're correct, your RO system should reduce the amount of microplastics significantly though, to a point that makes your water much safer than most common options.

Maybe? You’re literally forcing water under high pressure across a plastic membrane, to me it feels like that would add a tremendous amount of microplastics to the water. I don’t know what the answer is though since I can’t seem to find any real studies around this.
