New research has revealed the dangers of plastic water bottles and the potentially toxic chemicals they can release when exposed to the Sun.
New research has discovered some troubling news. According to a study conducted by scientists at the Guangdong Key Laboratory of Environmental Pollution and Health at Jinan University in China, the dangers of plastic water bottles may extend beyond just the harm that plastics can do to the environment. That’s because the scientists found that plastic water bottles may release potentially toxic chemicals into your water when exposed to the Sun.
However, because the chemicals that are released can include alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, acids, and aldehydes, the researchers recommend that people be aware of the issue, especially in places where bottled water may be exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time. Each of the bottles used in the study was made out of polyethylene terephthalate , which is one of the most common types of plastic that we use in bottles.
