According to Illinois’ “Crystal Lake Northwest Herald,” chemicals found in plastic water bottles, such as bisphenol A (BPA), “can be a concern.” The article further reports plastic bottles No. 1 PETE (polyethylene terephthalate), which includes most of our disposable plastic bottles, “have been proven to leach DEHP after repeated use.” DEHP and BPA are alleged human carcinogens.
