And we don't yet fully know their effects on our health...
trillionsA nylon cooking bag can make life in the kitchen much easier. Great for keeping food moist in the oven or simplifying slow-cooker recipes, countless chefs rely on food-grade nylons.
"In our study we measured nanoplastics that are smaller than 100 nm from materials that are very common. For reference of size of these particles, 1000 particles with a diameter of 100 nm can fit across a human hair. So, these are very small particles," says lead study author, Dr.Many will probably feel unsure about using these products in the future. But, believe it or not, the mystifying truth is that the FDA says trillions of nanoparticles are A-OK for human consumption.
The uncomfortable truth is that there is still so much we don't know about nanoparticles released from plastics. The potential health implications for humans are largely a mystery. These nanoparticles are theoretically small enough to enter our cells, potentially impacting cellular functioning—but this has yet to be confirmed.Both room temperature and hot water were poured into some low-density polyethylene-lined cardboard cups and nylon slow cooker bags .
"We focused on food-grade nylon and nanoplastics from single-use coffee cups, but we also studied other common materials as well. We detected similar particles in many other commonly used materials as well, such as plastic bags, plastic pipes, and containers," Zangmeister comments.For now, modern science is a long way from determining the health impact of these nanoparticles on humans upon ingestion.
