Are not bottled water and beverage companies already regulated, testing and disclosing data for contaminants regulated by the FDA? In the United States, bottled water is regulated by the

PFAS can enter bottled water from several specific, well-documented sources. These fall into three main categories: source-water contamination, processing equipment, and packaging. Here is a clear breakdown used by regulators, labs, and recent academic studies. PFAS are persistent and widespread

Microplastics are now known to enter the human body through food, water, air, and dust. Research is still emerging—especially for nanoplastics, which are small enough to cross biological barriers—but multiple peer-reviewed studies point to several plausible and increasingly documented health risks.

PFAS (“forever chemicals”) have been studied for decades, and multiple U.S. and international health agencies (EPA, ATSDR, CDC, EFSA) link long-term PFAS exposure to a range of health risks. The risk depends on the level, duration of exposure, and the specific PFAS compound, but the major health
