Plastic bottle-In this article you can find about the after effects of drinking water in plastic bottles.
Plastic products have become an essential part of our daily life, from our chairs to our drinking water cups.
PET-(polyethylene terephthalate):
Bottled water contains a chemical called polyethylene terephthalate. These types of bottles should be used once and thrown away.
Because the terephthalate it contains can cause liver cancer and reduce sperm count in men.
And when these bottles are heated in the sunlight, a chemical called dioxide is released, which can cause breast cancer. Notices to this effect are given on the bottles we use. Select by looking at its recycle numbers. Its recycle number=3
BPA-(polycarbonate biphenyl-A):
It is in these bottles that we give water to school going children. These bottles are made with a pipe. It is the worst chemical.
This causes obesity. It has been scientifically proven in medical research that it can cause preterm delivery, early ovulation in women and even miscarriage.
Its recycle number is seven. The use of these recycle number 7 and 3 types should be completely avoided.
Polypropylene and other plastics such as polypropylene can be used. These are bottles made of high quality plastic. Its recycle number 2,4,5 should only use this type of bottles.
However, it is better to avoid using plastics as much as possible and drink water in a stainless steel container because any type of high quality plastic contains microplastics. One liter of water has been found to contain 10,000 microplastics.
So when we look and buy, we should look and buy if it is printed as BPA FREE. You should know this awareness and use it carefully when choosing bottles from now on.
