To limit microplastic exposure, avoid drinking water from plastic bottles, plastic-lined paper cups, and eating soup from cans.

“canned soup, paper (plastic lined coffee cups), and plastic bottled water are FAR greater sources of exposure for micro/nanoplastics- hundreds of thousands to millions of particles.”

“Plastic tea bags are the worst, but many other tea bags also use some plastic in the sachet. We must also not forget about the plastic lining of "paper cups." These are a widely overlooked source of micro/nanoplastics.”

“"paper" coffee cups lined with plastic are a huge source of micro/nanoplastics”

“as are canned soups (canned hot), sardines, anything touching plastic for long amounts of time.”

“When I've looked at sheer numbers, I think the biggest source of exposure is plastics, like plastic water bottles, plastic lined containers.”

“Soup cans are lined with plastic and the soup goes into the can hot. Again, hot liquids exposed to plastic, huge microplastic exposure.”

“limit your plastic exposure as much as possible by doing three things. Stop drinking water out of plastic bottles. Stop drinking out of paper cups from Starbucks and other coffee shops that are lined with plastic. And stop eating soup out of cans.”
