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

For now.

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.

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

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)
