A recent study published in the journal *Science* has found a disturbing link between microplastic ingestion via water and an increased risk of certain cancers. The study, conducted over five years, tracked over 10,000 participants and found that those with higher levels of microplastics in their systems were more likely to develop cancer. This raises serious questions about water safety and the long-term effects of microplastic pollution. How concerned should we be, and what steps can we take to protect ourselves?
