Is bottle water safe?

While people may think they're doing a good deed for the environment when they reuse water bottles for anything from orange juice in a bagged lunch to a week's worth of water refills from the office water cooler, researchers say they could be risking their health. Dangerous bacteria and potentially toxic plastic compounds have been found in the types of water bottles typically reused in classrooms and workplaces countrywide."(1)"

"The fact is, a lot of these compounds have not really been studied in terms of their human health effects," said Margrit von Braun, a University of Idaho professor. Single-use soft-drink and water bottles are commonly made of a plastic called polyethylene terephthalate (PET) which, while considered safe for its intended use, was found to break down over time. "The longer you used it, the more stuff ended up in the water," said von Braun."1)"

We do need to drink water. And lots of it. For the lack of safe drinking water when we are out, we resort to bottled water. But what do we do when we need more? We re-fill the bottle. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who in one time or another re-use water bottles , well some pepole may not know this but when u leave you'r water bottle out and the next day refill it u actually get a lot of bacteria in your mouth when you take your first drink ,also when you leave your water bottle out little by little the water is actually kida of melting the glue on your water bottle because the wate actually gets most and worm and its starts to form a smell that temperally melts some of the glue from the bottle.
