Ontario: Scientists have said that if you are eager to drink tea, stop drinking tea in a plastic tea bag because only once, billions of plastic particles from the tea bag enter the tea with each sip from your throat. Reach the gastrointestinal tract.
Scientists at Canada's famous Mick Gill University have said that if a tea bag is immersed in hot water at 95 degrees Celsius, then 11 billion particles of plastic are removed and made into tea. They can range in size from 100 nanometers to 5 mm. Thus, this number is much higher than other foods and diets.
Plastic particles have been detected in salt, which can contain up to 0.005 grams of salt, says Nathalie Tiffincki, a specialist at Mick Gull University. But they can be thousands of times higher in tea cups, meaning that one cup of tea can contain up to 16 micrograms of plastic.
For this, Nathalie took four different tea bags from the Canadian city of Montreal's Tea Boxes, cut them, washed them, and opened them in 95 degrees Celsius water. These were then evaluated with electron microscope and spectroscopy. While some bags were used without cuts.
Although plastic particles have been found in the water provided in developed countries, the World Health Organization has not yet reported the impact and harm to their health.
Nathalie observed and observed common aquatic insects, namely, water flies in plastic contaminated water. These animals did not die but their behavior changed and some of their physical impairments also occurred. It shows that fine particles of plastic in water can also affect animals.
These scientists have advised tea drinkers to refrain from using plastic tea bags.
Let us point out that plastic tea bags are not used in Pakistan. On the contrary, there are tea bags made from specially made of very fine tissue paper.
