Looking at the study: https://d2ouvy59p0dg6k.cloudfront.net/downloads/plastic_ingestion_web_spreads.pdf https://d2ouvy59p0dg6k.cloudfront.net/downloads/plastic_inge... their overall estimate includes 10x the plastic from drinking water that I am likely to be getting from their statements about the water I drink. Drinking water is their #1 contributor. (I drink US tap water, so ~20 fibers a day, 140 fibers a week, based on that vs 1769 fibers a week based on their stated typical drinking water consumption. There's of course the potential that my water has less fibers than the US average, in which case my consumption of fibers from that source would be lower again.) So the link is scrubbing the soft language used in the study report "as much as" or "could be" and turning it into an unqualified average globally people ingest an average of 5g of plastic every week.
