Is It Safe to Drink Water Left in a Hot Car?
Drinking water from a bottle that sat in a hot car once is low risk, but heat, time, and reuse raise antimony, BPA, and microplastics in single-use plastic. Here is the science and the simple, reusable fix.
No single brand is definitively the worst bottled water. Independent testing found microplastics across major brands, averaging 325 particles per liter, roughly twice the level in tap water. Results vary by lot and year, so check current reports.
