Microwaving Plastic produces Microplastics in the Food/Beverage

I read this a few days ago
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.3c01942#

and while creeped out then, I have become more creeped out. Also: I do not want to know how they found out that M + N kill embryonic kidney cells.

We're between 50 to 60 percent water, yes/no? I wonder what percentage of the human body is now micro and nano plastics?

Argh.

Remember that melamine is plastic adjacent, as are many new bamboo composites.

Oh fun because I do that all the time.

[agoodwinsmith]

I know, right? Argh. Bowls and baggies and you name it.

I was disturbed to read this.

Yes. It is not comforting to have this knowledge. A lot of my "glass" or "pottery" ware is old corning ware, which apparently is full of lead. Huzzah.
