10. Safety Issues with Water Bottles Plastic Exposure facts bisphenol A (BPA) #7 BPA is found in many sports bottles, water cooler jugs, and baby bottles. These are usually marked by a "7" inside the recycling symbol Heat allows BPA to disperse faster (Claudio, 2008) Claudio, L. (2008). A clear look at water bottles. Prevention. 60 (9). 201-202.

11. Plastic Exposure facts polyethylene terephthalate (PETE or PET) #1 designated by a number "1" in the recycling sign. Believed to be endocrine disruptors. Like BPA, phthalates disperse into the water faster by heat. (Claudio, 2008)” Claudio, L. (2008). A clear look at water bottles. Prevention. 60 (9). 201-202. Safety Issues with Water Bottles

12. Making Better Water Consumption Choices Healthier Use tap water instead of bottled water Be aware of unsafe plastic material Know what’s in your water Environmentally Friendly CDC. (2009).
