WHO’s 2019 drinking-water review found particles in treated tap and bottled water in many places. That is a published-occurrence finding, not a city-tap count we will invent.

EPA status
No EPA primary MCL for microplastics in drinking water as of the research on this file. Occurrence literature is not a local compliance table.
Typical sources
Plastic in the environment and in bottled water. A CCR almost never prints particles per liter.
What actually fits
Some links are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission. That does not change the match, and it is not a medical claim.

Most TapMatch city files carry the same WHO 2019 sentence: studies found microplastic particles in treated tap and bottled water in many places, and that is not a number from that city’s water-quality report.
We do not invent a particles-per-liter count. The list below is empty unless a city file actually printed a local value. A national review repeated on 10,000 files is not a ranking.
Treatment talk stays modest. Reverse osmosis and some carbon devices are discussed in the literature. That is not a medical claim and not a substitute for a listed PFAS or lead claim.
Cities on file
Only numbers and notes already printed on a city Markdown file. We do not invent a detection to fill this list.
18,026 files cite WHO’s 2019 occurrence review and do not print a city-tap particle count. That is not a ranking.
No city file on this site prints a local number for this contaminant yet. If a file only cites a national review or a monitoring rule, it is not treated as a city value.
