Luckily I have well water...probably some of the cleanest water on Earth...I've tested it several times with kits.

Probably for a very long time...we live in a very remote area...in the wilderness of Maine...our county has never allowed commercial development...the only things here are camps/cabins/homes.

But what about the counties upstream of you?

I don't believe that's how aquifers work.

Maine doesn't really have anyone "upstream".

I'm pretty sure microplastics have even been detected in rainwater.

There was article a few days back with microplastics working through "untouched by humans" layers of lake silt.

Stay positive, friend.

There is microplastic in Antarctica. Unless your well feeds on an ancient aquifer instead of groundwater it will still be contaminated.

At least until the fracking crews come.

You tested it for microplastics? They're everywhere. Even on top of mountains

The Marianna Trench contains microplastics. (not a meme)

The eggs of all newly born children contain microplastics. (not a meme)

But this person's water-well. Free and clear. I think the key is this their well is outside of the environment. (meme)
