Recommended for targeted testing of microplastics in drinking water. Microplastics enter the drinking water supply from an array of pollution and waste pathways–such as from tires rubbing against pavement, synthetic clothes, paint dust and microfibers. The impacts of microplastics on human health and wildlife are not well understood. This Tap Score water test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed analysis of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene particles between 1 micron (um) and 5 mm in size.
