A study by Turkish researchers found that tea prepared using plastic mesh bags can lead to the transfer of thousands of microplastic particles into every cup. The analysis detected between 555 and 2,498 microplastic particles in samples. Neurologists warn that some tea bags can release microplastics and nanoplastics into hot water, advising consumers to check product labels. Experts suggest using loose-leaf tea or carefully examining product labels to reduce microplastic exposure.
