First Government in the World to Mandate Regulations for Microplastics in Drinking Water: Ecotoxicologist Scott Coffin Explains

California is not only the first U.S. state but the first government in the world to mandate the development of regulations for microplastics in drinking water.

What is getting into California’s drinking water? 

This will be the first line of investigation as soon as this mandate is implemented. Once we know what we’re being exposed to, we’ll have a much better idea of the problem we face, the health effects we may be experiencing, and ways to tackle the issue.
