The Dhaka Times Desk Nowadays, tea is served in paper cups everywhere after the use of plastic cups has stopped. However, the danger is increasing. A recent study speaks of that danger. What happens when you play tea in a paper cup?
In recent times tea shops use earthen pots or paper cups instead of glass. Cleaning glass is a hassle. There is also the fear of breaking up. There is no such danger in the case of paper cups. And paper cups should be thrown away after drinking tea. But do you know that the dangers of drinking tea in a paper cup can happen? Plastic is harmful to human body. Nowadays tea is served in paper cups everywhere. However, the danger is increasing. This is what a study done by the researchers of Kharagpur IIT in India says.
Paper means health. This research is going to break this idea to some extent. Research has found a type of microplastic material called 'hydrophobic film' from paper cups. When you pour hot tea in this cup, the plastic particles get mixed in the water. Within minutes, most of the plastic is mixed with the tea. According to the researchers, in this short period of time, about several thousand 'microplastics' can be mixed in the tea. Research shows that a single plastic cup contains about 25,000 microplastics. Apart from that, the presence of some elements dangerous for the body like zinc, lead and chromium have also been found in paper cups.
Generally, an adult person consumes at least 3 cups of tea throughout the day. Every time you take a sip from a paper tea cup, about 75,000 microplastics enter your body. This type of plastic contains harmful substances like ions, palladium, chromium and cadmium. Moreover, microplastics contain toxic substances like bisphenol. Which is one of the causes of cancer. This ingredient disrupts the secretion of estrogen hormone in the female body. On the other hand, this substance can also reduce the sperm count in men. If such toxic substances like 'Polyethylene' enter the body, the blood cells break into small parts and the plasma cell rate can increase at an abnormal rate. This can lead to death. So we all have to be careful to have time. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
