After reading the information given on the bottle on the left, read this:
How to avoid: Check on the bottom of the bottle there is a transparent triangle sign with a number on it. If the number is higher than or equal to 5 then this bottle is safe to use. Any number under 5 will release the chemical. In most mineral and soft drink bottles, the number is 1. Did you know the chemicals released by plastic water bottles can cause cancer? (It is not the water that is affecting you but the chemical Many are unaware of poisoning released from the bottle). caused by re-using plastic bottles.
Do not Re-use mineral water bottles!
Some of you may be in the habit of using and re-using your disposable mineral water bottles (e.g. Nestle, Bisleri, Aquafina, Kinley, Evian, etc...), keeping them in your car or at work. Not a good idea. It happened in Dubai, when a 12 year old girl died after a long usage (16 months) of SAFA mineral water bottle, as she used to carry the same fancy (painted by herself) bottle to her school daily. In a nutshell, the plastic (called polyethylene terephthalate or PET) used in these bottles contains a potentially carcinogenic element (something called diethylhydroxylamine or DEHA). The bottles are safe for one-time use only; if you must keep them longer, it should be or no more than a few days, week max, and keep them away from heat as well. Repeated washing and rinsing can cause the plastic to break down and the carcinogens (cancer-causing chemical agents) can leak into the water that YOU are drinking. Better to invest in water bottles that are really meant for multiple uses.
