#2I mean, it's enough to say "literally anywhere, including our blood and most tissues", because it doesn't get more disturbing than that

#3Is there food safe plastics that don’t leach microplastics? My RO filter uses plastic tubing, I imagine within the filters themselves there’s plastic

Not all plastics are equal. Some really don't leach much of anything in their normal use.
The main source of microplastics in water bottles isn't the bottle that's the filters (and the residual amount in the bottle is pretty astonishing)

#5Try buying food that isn't stored in plastics, worse yet, the supply chain before you get the food probably uses plastics between the various components. Seems like such a hard problem to solve.

Fyi you can get a stainless steel under sink RO system for less than 200usd on amazon, no plastic piping either.

Do the filters introduce microplastics?

#9How did we fail to forsee the effects of plastic before unleashing it on humanity and the world? Is there some org or body that would prevent such thing from happening in future with other material? If we have not learn anything from this we are doomed to repeat it.
