Non-stick pans could release millions of microplastic particles in possible 'health concern,' study says
Fox News
A new study from researchers in Australia found that just a single small crack on the surface of a Teflon-coated pan could release about 9,100 plastic particles.
At a micro scale, Raman imaging and algorithmic modeling have identified that broken coating may lead to the release of 2.3 million microplastics and nanoplastics. Julia Musto is a reporter for Fox News and Fox Business Digital.
Microplastics are pieces of plastic that measure less than five millimeters and nanoplastics measure less than 1 micrometer.
