Aren’t we all fans of doodh patti, especially at a roadside hotel? WWF Pakistan has completed a research on doodh patti produced at these local hotels that we all rush to!
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Pakistan carried out research on hotels in Karachi and discovered that the doodh patti served at these establishments contains minuscule fragments of microplastic. These minuscule particles are typically present in air, water, and even plants, and they are too small to be seen by the naked eye. The inferior quality of the tea leaves used to make the tea is the most likely culprit for the presence of these minute fragments in your cup of tea. The fact that one cup of tea may include anywhere from one hundred to one two hundred individual particles of microplastic raises a growing number of concerns for those who partake in this practise on a daily basis. According to the findings of a recent study conducted by WWF Pakistan, the consumption of microplastics on a daily basis is equivalent to ingesting a toxin that builds up in the human body.
