TLDR: Calcium binds to the microplastics making them easier to filter. You have to boil > cool > filter. Works better with hard water.

    That is not at all what my point is.

    You’re asserting that a body of water that has microplastics wouldn’t emit them via steam from boiling water, and I just provided you with sources saying that microplastics are present in the water vapor of our atmosphere…meaning they are light enough to be carried in water vapor…steam is water vapor.

    You’re then trying to assert that microplastics are lighter than air, which they are not. Nano plastics who even knows, but your secondary follow-up makes no sense because the former is true from the links I provided.
