BBC news for pollution of water bottles

Virtually every health-conscious person can quote the recommendation: Drink at least eight eight-ounce glasses of water per day. Drinking water is very importance in our daily life.

Recently, the British BBC, the Guardian and many other authoritative media collectively reported a shocking news. Scientists even called "bottled water purity is the biggest scam in 100 years!" The U.S. environmental group Orb Media has conducted the largest bottled water test to date in the world.

Tests on major brands of bottled water have found that nearly all of them contained tiny particles of plastic.

In the largest investigation of its kind, 250 bottles bought in nine different countries were examined.

Research led by journalism organisation Orb Media discovered an average of 10 plastic particles per litre, each larger than the width of a human hair.

Companies whose brands were tested told the BBC that their bottling plants were operated to the highest standards.

The tests were conducted at the State University of New York in Fredonia.
