Plastic in the Microwave: Potential Release of Billions of Nanoparticles

Plastic in the microwave can release billions of nanoparticles. It has been found that after three minutes of heating in the microwave oven, various liquids placed in containers contained billions of particles of nanoplastic released from the cookware. Previous studies have shown that such particles have the potential to be harmful to the intestines and key biological processes, but scientists currently lack precise evidence of their danger.
