Some nuance.
>The team found only 4.5 particles and 1.6 particles of microplastics per liter in glass and plastic bottles, respectively.
>In contrast, there were 60, 40 and 30 microplastics per liter in beer, lemonade and soft drinks, respectively.

Why?
>They theorized that “tiny scratches, invisible to the naked eye, probably due to friction between the caps when they were stored,” might subsequently “release particles onto the surface of the caps.”
By that logic we expect particle debris from any kind of friction between any kind of substance: from water running through pipes, from all sorts of cookware and utensils, from all packaging and storage containers, inhalation of fibre from the clothes you wear, particles from the flooring in your house and probably much more I haven't thought of.

But how novel is this threat? Does living in a natural environment also not ensure the ingestion and inhalation of tons of inflammatory particles? Or are forever chemicals the only threat in that category?

I'm not sure whether I should be scared and angry or not.
