Microplastics are tiny, virtually invisible fragments of plastic between 0.0001 and 5 millimeters.

If you are drinking something with 5 millimeter pieces of plastic in it, you will definitely know it!

Yeah... it seems that would be more of a milliplastic than a microplastic.

I suspect they’re not talking about fragments that large being in the water bottles but fragments closer to the 0.0001 mm range that you would never notice.

No, because the thickness of the fiber may be so small it just goes down your throat, just like all that dust around your house from clothing fibers floating around.

We gladly swallow booger material throughout the day that comes up from our lungs and down from our noses, and this has these same floating fibers in it.

Yum!

For the metric impaired, such as myself, 5mm is roughly 1/5 of an inch..

yep, you would definitely know it.
