2 teens won $50,000 for inventing a device that can filter toxic microplastics from water

1. This post spurred me to google Brita filters regarding micropastics

The gist is that while Brita makes no claims to remove microplastics, some of their filters (including the faucet filter) are rated and 99.7% effective against particles sized smaller than microplastics.

I would expect Brita's major competitor(s) have similar results. I checked Brita because I have used it for years.

(Posting this because with the recent focus on microplastics, I may not have been the only one wondering about whether my filtering system is protecting me and how much.)

I expect these young people's invention has potential uses for water other than drinking water, so it is a great achievement and valid award for sure.
