Considering the bottles are made of plastic, it would be surprising if they contained less plastic particles than tap water.
What would be interesting is if glass bottled water contained a similar number of plastic particles, because that would suggest a different source of contamination.
- thatcat 7y agoNo, bottled is ro filtered and should be clean of particles over .001 mm.
- Reason077 7y agoYes, and then it gets put in a plastic bottle. Not all bottled waters are RO filtered, either. Many are sourced from natural springs and retain various minerals.
- emptysands 7y agoOne of the theories is that putting the caps and other mechanic actions cause friction and create the particles. Many water pipes in houses are plastic. Would be interesting to see studies on tap water.
