It has been claimed in this study that these straws contain some toxic chemicals, which apart from being dangerous for people, can also pose a threat to other organisms and the environment. It has been said in the study that when research was done on many straws, it was revealed that poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were found in straws made of paper and bamboo. 

Let us tell you that it is said for PFA that it survives for a long time and is dangerous for human health. According to the study, 18 out of 20 companies making paper straws in the market are involved in straws. However, it is not yet known whether this PFA dissolves in that drink as well.
