Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a growing concern due to its potential environmental and health impacts. The present study aimed to investigate the presence of MPs in specific brands of drinking water bottle and milk packets. To identify the MPs, researchers employed microscopic techniques, FTIR spectroscopy, and FESEM with EDS. The types of polymers were determined by comparing the obtained values with reference standards. The study also assessed the potential daily microplastic exposure from drinking water and milk consumption. MPs were detected in the samples in three different shapes: filaments, fibers, and fragments. Four types of polymers were identified: polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), polysulfone (PSU), and polyethersulfone (PES). The colors observed included violet, blue, green, red, and black. In the analyzed drinking water samples, a total of 13 MPs sized 1-3 mm and 7 MPs sized 3-6 mm were found. In the milk samples, there were 2 MPs sized 4-5 mm and 4 MPs sized 2-3 mm. The results of the study indicate that MPs are present in the examined drinking water and milk, which are directly consumed by humans. This suggests that microplastic pollution may occur during the manufacturing or packaging processes of these products. The study recommends implementing measures to reduce microplastic contamination at the beginning of the production process for drinking water and milk.
