Tea bags may release tiny plastics into hot tea, but scientists say the real answer depends on how the particles are measured.

What seemed like the most innocent routine of the day—boiling water and letting a tea bag steep for a few minutes—has become a major cause for concern, as some studies now estimate that a single cup of tea contains up to 14.7 billion microplastics and nanoplastics
