Field notes
The method note says each figure and each location listed under “Found in” is tied to a peer-reviewed study or agency report. The reference list names work on bottled-water nanoplastics, tea bags, indoor air, and findings in human tissue, alongside an OECD report. The page qualifies its estimates as rough and likely underestimates, and says links between microplastics and disease remain under study.
