The bottle creates pollution that ultimately ends up in waterways (Bono-Blay, et al., 2014). Pollution contaminating waterways requires treatment, such as filtering out plastic particles, so it can be reused. In some cases, both in the Great Lakes and in the oceans, the amount of plastic in bodies of water cannot be saved. This pollution not only affects water, but can also compromise the health of consumers due to chemicals in plastic such as bisphenol A (BPA) that have been found in the water from these water bottles. A study conducted by Chambers, Luke, Forrester, Rattray, and Badal (2015) reveals that BPA has effects that can harm human health. BPA is found in plastic polymers used to make plastic. In this study it is shown that BPA seeps into the water contained in the bottle, eventually diffusing into human skin. This is also present in a study by Bono-Blay, Borrell, Guart and Lacorte (2014) which explains that additives used in the bottling process can migrate into the water from packaging, as well as from tanks and
