Warnings about the risks of drinking water from plastic containers were recently voices in an article in the BMJ Global Health Journal. The authors say water in plastic bottles can expose people to toxins and recommend instead drinking clean tap water from reliably tested sources.  Some brands of bottled water can contain amounts of tiny nanoplastics that could bring on inflammation and changes in metabolism, including in the brain and reproductive systems, that could threaten human health,” says Rolf Halden, a professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools,  and director of ASU’s Biodesign Center for Environmental Health Engineering. He and other experts point to the challenges in ensuring safe sources of water.
