When travelling overseas, do you buy water in plastic bottles or take your chances with tap water? Imagine you are wandering about on a Thai island or _26_ the ruins of Angkor. It’s hot so you grab a bottle of water from a local vendor. It’s the safe, sane thing to do, right? The bottle is _ 27_ , and the label says “pure water”, but maybe what’s inside is not so _28_ . Would you still be drinking it if you knew that more than 90 percent of all bottled water sold around the world _29_ microplastics?
That’s the conclusion of a recently _30_ study, which analyzed 259 bottles from 11 brands sold in nine countries, _31_ an average of 325 plastic particles per liter of water. These microplastics included a _32_ commonly known as PET and are widely used in the manufacture of clothing and food and _33_ containers. The study was conducted at the State University of New York on behalf of Orb Media, a journalism organization. About a million bottles are bought every minute, not only by thirsty tourists but also by many of the 2.1 billion worldwide who live with unsafe drinking water.
Confronted with this _34_ , several bottled-water manufacturers including Nestle and Coco-Cola undertook their own studies using the same methodology. These studies showed that their water did contain microplastics, but far less than the Orb study suggested. Regardless, the World Health Organization has now launched a review into the _35_ health risks of drinking water from plastic bottles.
