“To create bioCap, the researchers used sawdust as a substrate through which to filter water, given its superior chemical and physical stability and the fact that it contains cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, which facilitate efficient water transport. They modified the sawdust by adding tannic acid, a naturally occurring plant polyphenol found in almost all plants without underground root systems.”
Is there a mask version? As far as I know, the microplastics penetrate our blood brain barriers by first penetrating our lungs as we breath the flying particles in.
Also, the article doesn’t mention anything about nanoplastics, which are far more dangerous. Nanoplastics have a larger surface area, which makes them more reactive - they can also penetrate cells, and cause damage to DNA, proteins, etc.
Jeeze I sure do wish that was made up!
Macroplastics are what you should really be worried about! They have even more surface area, and cut off airflow to the lungs by enveloping your head
It’s the 1% again that’s dooms us all!

When will I be able to attach it to my water filter?
Well then, microplastics are one less thing to worry about
