Lost the link.

Here are some articles on Microplastics and reverse osmosis filters. YMMV, as always.

Does Reverse Osmosis Remove Microplastics: The Magic of RO

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6891368/
Membrane Processes for Microplastic Removal
National Library of Medicine.
Read online or free paper download. (PDF, 11MB)

From the literature analysis, it was found that the removal of microplastic by membrane technology is still insufficient, and without the use of specially designed approaches, with the exception of membrane bioreactors (MBRs).

Don't be put off by the title. The paper is readable by non-chemists.
