, the research team from Birmingham University tested 155 soft drinks, including hot and cold drinks.Testing is carried out to determine the microplastic content in it.
This research is believed to be the first to test the microplastic content in popular drinks.Research found the highest microplastic concentration found in hot tea and hot coffee.
Research also tests ice tea and cold coffee to determine the microplastic content in it.However, what was found was a microplastic content that was far less than hot drinks.
This shows that the high temperature and the process used to make hot drinks contribute to microplastic levels.
Professor Mohamed Abdallah, one of the researchers, said that his party noticed a lot of research related to microplastic which only focused on tap water and bottled water.Unconsciously, microplastic risk also appears in other light drinks such as hot tea and coffee.
“We found the presence of microplastic everywhere, in all cold and hot drinks that we examined. From a scientific point of view, this shows that we should not only observe water, but also must conduct more comprehensive research because the resources of [microplastic] are also quite a lot,” he said.
In total, there are 31 different types of drinks from popular brands in the UK.These types include hot and cold coffee, hot and cold tea, juice, energy drinks, and other soft drinks.
The sample is filtered, then the number of microplastic is determined through a microscope imaging.Cold drinks are immediately filtered, while hot drinks are left cold for 30 minutes before analyzing.
Hot tea in a disposable glass contains the highest microplastic, an average of 22mps (units for microplastic) per glass.This figure is higher than 14 MPS per glass glass.
The study found that the tea bag dissolved the most microplastic with an average of 24-30 MPS per glass.
While in hot coffee, researchers found, disposable glass materials became the main source of microplastic.
Microplastic itself is a very small plastic particle that pollutes the environment and can endanger human health.Microplastic is difficult to decompose and can enter the human body through food, water, and air.
A number of studies have found, microplastic exposure to the human body can trigger inflammation.Microplastic exposure is also found to trigger cancer, the problem of the immune system, to disorders of the reproductive system and nerve.
