Tea bags release tens of billions of plastic particles at high temperature!

On September 25, according to foreign media reports, a study published by McGill University in Canada in the American journal Environmental Science and Technology pointed out that tea bags will release tens of billions of plastic particles at high temperatur.

Tea bags refer to the tea leaves wrapped in paper or cloth, which can be stored for a long time and are washed with water when usi.

In the study, the researchers used 4 different tea ba.

It was found that there are about 16 billion microplastic and 1 billion nanoplastic particles in each cup of water, mainly polyethylene terephthalate and nylon, matching the material of the tea b.

To further study the effects of these plastic particles on living things, the researchers placed tiny aquatic organisms such as water fleas in the tea bag soluti.

Whether tea bag plastic particles affect human health requires more in-depth research, the researchers say, but recommend avoiding tea ba.
