Regular ScienceAlert readers will likely know how pervasive microplastics are – getting into human tissue, ancient rock, and ...

A new study reveals that common tea bags can release substantial amounts of micro and nanoplastics (MNPLs) into your brew during the steeping process. The research, conducted by a team of scientists ...

A new study found millions and billions of plastics are released by commercially available teabags—and then absorbed into ...

Plastic pollution from food packaging, like tea bags, releases billions of MNPL particles, which can infiltrate human cells, ...

A new study reveals polymer-based tea bags release billions of microplastics and nanoplastics into hot tea. These particles can enter human intestines and spread through the body, potentially ...

Every sip counts! Tea bags could be exposing tea drinkers to billions of nanoplastics per sip, according to recent research.

According to the scientists who carried out the research, a single tea bag could release dangerous microplastics into your ...

The tea bags used for the research were made from the polymers nylon-6, polypropylene and cellulose. The study shows that, when brewing tea, polypropylene releases approximately 1.2 billion ...
