Critical Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Tap water in the US contains detectable PFAS in over 45% of systems. Shower filters are an often-overlooked source of protection — chlorine and chloramine in shower water are absorbed through skin and inhaled as steam.

Why We Rated It This Way

Dasani bottled water contains microplastics at concentrations far higher than tap water. PET plastic degrades with heat and UV exposure, releasing microplastics and other chemicals. A reusable glass or stainless steel bottle with filtered tap water is dramatically safer and cheaper.
