Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that bottled water contains microplastic particles?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed studies and a reference source report that microplastics have been detected in bottled water, including a 2018 study finding the vast majority of bottled water contains microplastics and systematic reviews confirming contamination in Indonesia and elsewhere.
