A member asked:
I have always given my 3 & 2 years old kids nestle bottled water . do plastic chemicals get into such water? is it safe?

Yes: It is safe to drink the water. Everything in life involves risks versus benefits. Even if they could measure femtogram amounts of plastic in the water then the question becomes how much of it would be absorbed by your children. I don't know about the water supply where you actually live but keep checking on it.
