For the Love of God, Stop Microwaving Plastic - lemmy.thesanewriter

Microwaving delivers a triple whammy: heat, UV irradiation, and hydrolysis

Microwave ovens do not generate ultraviolet light. They operate in the, well, microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

I’m not saying microwaving plastic poses no risks, but this mistake makes me doubt the veracity of some of the more sensationalist claims in the article.

The linked study itself doesn’t make that claim either although I didn’t pay to see the detailed version.
