5 Common Mistakes We Make While Drinking Water

1. Drinking tap water

Tap water is a source of drinking water that has been used for decades. However, it can be unsafe to drink tap water in some areas. One of the reasons is that harmful chemicals and plastics are found in tap water.

Tap water can be unsafe because it contains harmful chemicals and plastic particles or microplastics. Harmful chemicals such as chlorine and chloramine are added to the tap water to kill bacteria and other organisms that may be present in the water. These harmful chemicals may react with organic matter in the water, leading to carcinogens like trihalomethanes (THMs).
