Business Strategy and the Environment (Wiley) · 17 Jul 2026 Research & science Tiny plastics in drinking water may be making dangerous bacteria stronger Tiny plastic particles in drinking water may be doing more than contaminating the environment. New research suggests nanoplastics can actually help harmful bacteria survive by strengthening the slimy biofilms they form inside water systems. These tougher biofilms become more resistant to disinfectants, making them harder to remove and potentially increasing public health risks.
