“…They have also been detected in biological components, including various organisms such as fish and earthworms. Furthermore, they have made their way into various human foods, including sugar [ 24 ], milk [ 25 ], mineral water and soft drinks [ 26 ], honey [ 27 ], tea [ 28 ], bottled water [ 29 , 30 ], and even table salt [ [31] , [32] , [33] ]. Microplastics have been discovered in diverse locations, from the summit of Mount Everest [ 34 ] to the depths of the Sea floor [ 35 ].…”

Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics have gained significant attention as emerging environmental pollutants due to their widespread presence and potential health risks. In recent years, these contaminants have been frequently detected in drinking water and various beverages, prompting concern about their sources and effects. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the occurrence of MPs in drinking water and beverages and exposure assessments. MP concentrations in drinking water vary significantly across countries and regions, influenced by diverse factors such as the efficiency of water treatment plants, the level of pollution in water sources, and the condition of transportation pipelines. Another critical aspect discussed in this review is the assessment of human exposure to MPs. Similarly, the daily intake of MPs shows significant variation across different countries and regions. Beyond the concentration of MPs in drinking water, an equally important factor is the quantity of water consumed, which can differ by as much as two orders of magnitude between studies. These variations in water consumption are a key focus of this article, as they greatly influence the estimation of human MP exposure. Furthermore, it discusses the limitations of current research, emphasizes gaps in understanding nanoplastics, and outlines potential future research directions.
