The one that concerns me personally is the whole wastewater recycling directly to drinkable tap water.
Between micro-plastics from washing machines to medicine disposal, the long term unknowns to human health seem to be significant, not to mention the potential for human error.
- antisthenes 2y agoMicroplastics are one of the easier things to filter out from water though, compared to other nasty things, like pharmaceuticals or arsenic or PFAs. Although I think it will get to that point where we will have to use distillation machines for drinking water/cooking, unfortunately.
