Tests on major brands of bottled water have found that nearly all of them contained tiny particles of plastic.
Sherri Mason, a professor of chemistry at the university, conducted the analysis and told BBC News: "We found [plastic] in bottle after bottle and brand after brand.
"It's not about pointing fingers at particular brands; it's really showing that this is everywhere, that plastic has become such a pervasive material in our society, and it’s pervading water - all of these products that we consume at a very basic level."

Before an American dentist killed the beloved lion known as Cecil outside a Zimbabwe national park, the animal "suffered incredible cruelty for at least 10 hours, severely wounded and slowly dying."
