Very Important Info.
Dont Re-use Mineral Water Bottles!!!!!!!!!!!!
Assalam O Alaikum!
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim!
"Many are unaware of poisoning caused by re-using plastic bottles".
Some of you may be in the habit of using and re-using your disposable mineral water bottles (eg. Evian, Aqua, Ice Mountain, Vita, etc), keeping them in your car or at work.Not a good idea.
It happened in Dubai , when a 12 years old girl died after a long useage (16 months) of 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 use only; if you must keep them longer, it should be or no more than a few days, a week max, and keep them away from heat as well.
Repeated washing and rinsing can cause the plastic to break down and the carcinogens can leach into the water that YOU are drinking.
Better to invest in water bottles that are really meant for multiple uses. Reusing single-use bottles is a common domestic practice. Typically the bottle is washed out with warm soapy water after each use.This is a common practice of ladies to re use these bottles for their refrigerators.This is not something we should be scrimping on.
Those of you with family - to please advise them, especially children."
How to avoid:
* Check on the bottom of the bottle,there is a triangle sign and there will be a number on it.
* If the number is higher than or equal 5;then this bottle is safe to use.Whatever number under 5 ,will release the chemical.
* For most bottle water, the number is "1"....Did you know chemical released by plastic water bottles can cause Cancer????
* It is not the water that affecting you but the chemical releasing from the bottle.
