As this cnet article explains, heating food in plastic containers is one of the most common ways that microplastics can leech into your meals. When the container is microwaved, it accelerates the breakdown and migration of plastic compounds, which can end up in the food that’s inside of the container. The good news, though, is that this is avoidable. In this article, two experts, a public health professor and a toxicologist, explain what the research shows about microwaving food in plastic and what they’d recommend doing differently.
