How to Eat and Drink Fewer Microplastics(2)
Avoid plastic food containers
避免使用塑料食品容器
Using plastic is often unavoidable, but there are many ways to reduce your food's interaction with plastics, and that includes the plastic storage containers.
使用塑料往往不可避免，但有很多方法可以减少食物与塑料的接触，包括塑料储存容器。
Experts urge people to replace food that comes in plastic containers with alternatives. That could be as simple as buying peanut butter in a glass container.
专家敦促人们用其他替代品来取代塑料容器中的食物。这可以很简单，比如购买装在玻璃容器中的花生酱。
Anything that's packaged in plastic — there are microplastics that are shedding off of those materials. Canned food and beverage cartons are another plastic contamination pathway for humans. Cans are often lined with plastics that can shed microplastics and leach harmful chemicals.
任何用塑料包装的东西——都会有微塑料从这些材料上脱落。罐装食品和饮料纸盒是人类接触塑料污染的另一条途径。罐头通常有塑料内衬，会脱落微塑料并浸出有害化学物质。
Use glass in the microwave
在微波炉中使用玻璃容器
One study found that microwaving food in plastic containers and reusable food pouches could release more than 4 million microplastic and 2 billion nanoplastic particles per square centimeter in just three minutes.
一项研究发现，在塑料容器和可重复使用的食品袋中用微波炉加热食物，仅三分钟每平方厘米就会释放出超过400万个微塑料和20亿个纳米塑料颗粒。
Heat causes microplastics to migrate, so avoid putting hot food into plastic packaging and make sure that it's not stored in sunlight or other warm environments. Other factors that could increase leaching are acidic products, like orange juice and other fruit juices, and fatty foods.
热量会导致微塑料迁移，所以避免将热食物放入塑料包装中，并确保其不存放在阳光直射或其他温暖的环境中。其他可能增加浸出的因素是酸性产品，如橙汁和其他果汁，以及高脂肪食物。
