The new innovation involves the fact that ready-made tea packages are being placed inside microplastic and nanoparticles, which can negatively affect the health of a consumer. It has been noted that when brewing such tea packages, the microplastic particles and nanoparticles are released into the water in the form of red particles, the size of which is measured in nanometers. The products, made from a polymer, which are released in the largest quantities of harmful particles, are considered the most dangerous.
For the analysis of harmful particles, modern methods were used, including laser technologies, which allowed to determine the chemical and physical properties of the particles. The study covered three types of tea: from a polymer, cellulose and nylon.
The results showed that the polymer packet releases about 1.2 million particles per milliliter of water, the cellulose packets release 135 million particles per milliliter with a diameter of about 244 nanometers, and the nylon ones release 8.18 million particles with an average diameter of 138.4 nanometers.
The researchers found that as the number of particles interacts with the cells of the consumer's body, in the cells, working slices, to fix the presence of plastic particles in the water, to raise the risk of genetic and other pathologies.
The authors of the work noted that the polymer composition of the nanoparticles determines their behavior in the organism, including the possibility of accumulating in organs, to toxic reactions and to release immune and other pathologies.
The authors noted that the presence of microplastic in the consumer's body with the development of various processes, to the possibility of being included in organs, to toxic reactions and to release immune and other pathologies.

"The polymer composition of microplastic and nanoparticles significantly affects their biological activity, which provides for different ways of their development on the body, then and cells," the authors note. They add that the difference in the structure of the particles may determine their pattern, toxicity and the possible mechanisms of development of chronic diseases.
