Uncertainty around the quality of tap water leads many to opt for bottled water instead, though one study asks if that is truly better. Researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine in Qatar have published a study listing the potential issues with sticking solely to bottled water.
One issue with select water bottles is the presence of microplastics in their water. Often these plastics are alongside chemicals designed to make the bottle more durable, though their effects within the water can be dangerous. In addition to this, the creation and disposal of these bottles creates a vast amount of waste that can negatively impact the environment around their manufacturing facilities and landfills. While bottled water is a step up for communities struggling with contamination of their public water supply, it is not a universal solution. The best path is to stay up-to-date on your local water quality and choose the best option for you.
