A little something extra in your tea - microplastics and nanoplastics | worm

You probably should not drink tea contained in tea bags, unless you are sure you know what they are made of. Once upon a time, tea bags were made of paper. Now, most of them are made of plastic-based materials (polyethylene, nylon). These tea bags release billions of microplastics and billions of nanoplastic particles with each cup of tea made using a tea bag 1. The effects on humans are not well known, and part of the reason is that there can be no control in studies looking at the effect of microplastics because there is no person on Earth that isn’t contaminated, and micro and nanoplastics have been found in every organ in the human body.
