According to the Cavalier Daily, Charlottesville’s Ragged Mountain Running Shop has decided to stop carrying the polycarbonate Nalgene water bottles after recent “scientific findings showed the plastic used to manufacture Nalgene brand bottles emits a toxic gas when exposed to certain chemicals such as bleach.”
The article further reports that the “polycarbonate bottles manufactured by Nalgene pose the greatest health risks because of a unique compound called bisphenol A.”
