Novel Approach to Assess Microplastics in EU Drinking Water
A novel methodology developed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) aims to facilitate compliance with the EU Drinking Water Directive by enhancing the monitoring of microplastics in tap water across the European Union. Our daily requirement of about one and a half liters of water is crucial for maintaining bodily functions. However, the presence of minute plastic particles, known as 'microplastics,' in our drinking water raises concerns about potential health implications. Despite growing awareness of their presence, uncertainties persist regarding their impact on human health, largely due to inadequate understanding of their prevalence and distribution in water supplies. To address this, European drinking water regulations offer legal frameworks for monitoring emerging pollutants on a

Saving Water Starts with You
For some people, water has never been a challenge in their day-to-day lives. This is mainly because they are living in communities where water is easily accessible. For them it’s simple – they turn on the tap and clean water just flows, every time, every day of the year. This makes it difficult for them to acknowledge the challenges experienced by people in other parts of the world when it comes to getting hold of a few drops of water – realizing the real value of water. In developing countries, people can only access water from flowing streams, many of which are sometimes contaminated, leading to water-borne diseases. The lack of quality water also endangers proper handling of human waste and sewage, resulting to stagnant, dirty water – a welcoming environment for mosquitoes and other
