Scientists have found microplastics in tea and coffee: which drinks are the most dangerous

According to hvylya.net: Recent studies have shown that microplastics enter the human body through the consumption of liquids. Hot drinks may contain more microplastics than previously thought. The preparation process and the temperature of hot beverages contribute to an increase in the concentration of microplastics in the drink.

Scientists have found microplastics in two of the most popular beverages in the world. According to The Independent, the amount of microplastics found in hot tea and coffee was the highest. The researchers studied 155 different non-alcoholic beverages, including both hot and cold.

The research showed that even in everyday drinks like tea and coffee, microplastics may be present. The situation is quite alarming, as the increasing amount of plastic pollution may have negative impacts on human health. Further research and improvements in filtration processes are needed to reduce the risk of microplastics affecting the body.
