Title: Caps of Glass Bottles Contaminate Beverages With Microplastics

Link: https://science.slashdot.org/story/25/06/23/1...

Microplastics are present in all beverages, but those packaged in glass
bottles contain more microplastic particles than those in plastic bottles,
cartons or cans. This was the surprising finding of a study conducted by the
Boulogne-sur-Mer unit of the ANSES Laboratory for Food Safety. The scientists
hypothesised that these plastic particles could come from the paint used on
bottle caps. Water and wine are less affected than other beverages. These
findings have highlighted a source of microplastics in drinks that
manufacturers can easily take measures to address.
