In a scientific experiment sponsored by an environmental protection group, researchers tested 250 bottles of plastic bottled water from several well-known brands in a country and found that only 17 bottles of water contained no plastic particles  Plastic particles may be toxic or non-toxic, but because of their small particles and hydrophobicity, they are carriers of toxic and harmful chemicals such as persistent organic pollutants
On this basis, it has been proposed that drinking plastic bottled water is harmful to health
The content of plastic particles in plastic bottled water during the shelf life is much lower than the safe standard of drinking water in various countries.
