Microplastics in teabags

Very interesting and scary article. I’ll be drinking loose tea from now on!

Valuable information. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. :slightly_smiling_face:

nothing to worry about. No knowledge of risk is presented. poor research.

Thanks. Would you mind explaining why this is poor research? Do you know of any other studies on this topic?

The title of their paper is designed to cause fear of using tea bags and the conclusion they came to at the end of their summary is there is no evidence of human imapct or risk. Their title is designed to get attention and more money for their research
There is no acknowledgement of the reasearch institution these miiddle eastern individuals are from.
my question is if they did measure plasics in teabags does a few parts in a billion parts of tea make a difference I dont think so!

no I do not know of any other research on this topic.
