What do you mean plastic mesh heated to near boiling temperatures causes a release of microscopic plastic particles? That just doesn’t make any sense at all!
Many tea bags are made from paper with added plastic fibers for extra strength. As you heat them, like when pouring hot water over them, some of the particles (both paper, plastic, and whatever other additives) release into your cup.
And I assume next you’ll tell me that pouring boiling water into plastic bottles or maybe even Styrofoam cups is another way people introduce microplastics into their systems unwittingly. That’s just too bizarre.
