Deep in Earth’s past, an icy landscape became a seascape as the ice melted and the oceans rose off what is now the northeastern United States. Nearly 50 years ago, a U.S. government ship searching for minerals and hydrocarbons in the area drilled into the seafloor to see what it could find. It found, of all things, drops to drink …

Studies show that leaving plastic water bottles in hot environments, like a car, causes them to release billions of microplastic particles and harmful chemicals into the water. Heat and UV exposure accelerate the breakdown of plastics, while bottles stored in cool, dark places shed little to no microplastics. To reduce exposure, experts recommend avoiding long-term storage of bottled water in …
