Study finds that non-stick pans could emit millions of microplastic particles, posing a health concern
As users cook or wash non-stick pots, millions of tiny plastic particles could be released. A new study by Australian researchers found that just one surface crack in a Teflon-coated saucepan could release approximately 9,100 plastic particles. Raman imaging and algorithmic modeling have shown that broken coatings can lead to the release of 2.3 million …
