Can someone smart clear this up for me? I thought distillation was the process of evaporating liquids then cooling them to form just the pure liquid on the other end, if this can happen in rain, could micro plastics find their way into distilled water too?
Evaporation ≠ distillation. Nature doesn’t have filters everywhere. That’s not to say that nature doesn’t have filters, but they are seemingly sparse in the air.
Maybe it’s more about sterile conditions then, in a glass tube you’re probably counting on the way that the water moves through it, I keep thinking back to the game raft and how they “distill” water, always made me wonder if it would really work

Raindrops always condensate around a little dust particle referred to as nucleus, afaik
yeah, i’d think the nucleus for these raindrops were microplastic clouds
Horrific

Distillation doesn’t use filters either

It’s actually not. It still carries all kinds of stuff
It could just be the wind that was hanging out in the same spot as the rain. Wind can carry stuff reeeeeaaaaaally far.
