Not every tap has water flowing from it; it comes straight from an artesian well into the pipe.
Some people still smell chlorine in every glass of tea, while others have long since switched to bottled water because of it. But which water is healthier – tap or bottled?
The debate about the quality of tap and bottled water has been going on for a long time. The results of the latest research were shared by The Telegraph .
Tap water contains dangerous chemicals (PFAS - they do not break down in the environment), and bottled water contains microplastics.
Tap water
PFAS substances provoke the development of cancer and thyroid disease.
At the same time, it is believed that some substances escape the attention of scientists during research.
Moreover, the water disinfection process itself raises doubts, as it sometimes leads to the formation of by-products.
Bottled water
Externally, it is clean and attractive. But here scientists have questions about bottling water in plastic bottles.
It is plastic that is blamed for the emergence of harmful substances, which is why all the advantages of bottled water over tap water are negated.
Conclusion
Given that both options are far from ideal, scientists tend to consider tap water safer.
