How safe are the PET water bottles
Today if you have a look on the bottles used for beverages
in the United States, then the maximum are made of polyethylene
terephthalate or in sort PET. The main reason of using
PET bottles seems to be the weight that is very low,
and can be prevented from breaking. These types’
bottles are used in a wide range to store products starting
from water to beer. We do have the habit of using a
bottle more than once without knowing the pet water
bottle safety. When it comes to pet water bottle safety,
then you must know that whatever items are coming related
to food or drinking, all are checked by the U.S FDA
or Food and drug Administration.
Before introducing the pet bottles in the market, they
are bound to be verified by the FDA. To ensure the pet
bottle safety and before they gets the permission, they
need to go through a hard test whether they are safe
or not. When water or soft drinks or any type of drinking
item is packaged in a pet bottle, it comes to a contact
with the plastic. The poison needs to be too low so
that when they come to exposure, human being does face
any problem. PET bottles that are used to store water
or liquid substances include an element known as DEHA.
This is very harmful for human beings as they carry
the germs of fatal disease like cancer. In this discussion
it is important to know that the DEHA itself is not
a cancer disease, and it is been proved by the U.S Environmental
Protection Agency in the year 1991. DEHA happens to
be a type of plasticizer and it is not an inbuilt raw
material in PET. People often ask that whether pet bottles
are only for one-time usages, and that has been announced
by the U.S FDA.
Fact is that FDA has not made any regulation for the
same instead of that, the pet water bottle safety is
meant for social and financial reasons. Another common
thing you can hear often is the announcement of not
using the bottles that are left in the car. Through
an e-mail, it has been known that a woman was suffering
breast cancer, and the doctor asked not to drink water
from the bottles kept in the car. The reason showed
was that when the pet bottles are kept in heat, a reaction
takes place that allows the growth of cancer disease.
Another thing you can often hear is the awareness on
pet water bottle safety and that is not to keep the
pet bottles in frozen temperature. However, there are
no such scientific reasons behind the release of toxins
when the pet bottles are frozen. Unless they comes closure
to too high temperature, dioxins are not released from
the pet bottles. Experiments say that there is no chance
of being connected with the dioxins when plastic is
kept under room temperature or extremely cool place.
All you need to do is to check for the numbers mentioned
on the bottom to ensure the pet water bottle safety.
