Are Paper Cups safe to use?

A study by the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur has found out that a person drinking three cups of tea from disposable paper cups will end up ingesting 75,000 tiny microplastic particles.
Hot liquid served in paper cups causes degradation of microplastics and other hazardous components from the lining material of the cup in few minutes.
These microplastics can act as carriers for contaminants like ions, toxic heavy metals such as Palladium, Chromium, and Cadmium, and organic compounds.
