Possibly so, but this is filed as environmental monitoring, so I think most people in the field this article is written for wouldn't have your same uncertainty.

Salt derived from underground sources wouldn't be at risk of microplastics contamination.
- mirimir 10y agoWell, but there might be other sources for plastic contamination, as they discuss. And there "is" nothing in the article with evidence for origin. Or even a statement like "We tested samples of lake and sea salt." Only those two lake salts are mentioned specifically. Maybe it's just an oversight, but it could also be just their assumptions. Maybe it's really "We tested samples of salt that were presumably produced from lake water and seawater."
