Nephros Positions Ultrafiltration Technology as a Solution to Emerging Microplastic Risk in Water

Nephros, Inc. announced that its ultrafiltration technology can effectively capture microplastics and nanoplastics from drinking water, positioning the company to address emerging water quality concerns. The announcement follows the U.S. EPA's April 2026 decision to include microplastics as a priority contaminant group under the Safe Drinking Water Act's draft Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 6). Nephros' filters feature pore sizes as small as 5 nanometers, enabling removal of particles smaller than conventional filtration technologies can address.
