Bisphenol A (BPA) in Foley Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) in the Water Supply of Foley Florida Homes

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a man-made chemical used in some plastics and resins that can occasionally end up in water at very low levels. Most people know BPA from food packaging, but it can also appear when plastic materials touch water during manufacturing, storage, or transport. Because BPA is usually present only in trace amounts, tap water won’t necessarily look, smell, or taste different. Many Foley homeowners choose to limit BPA exposure where practical, including by treating the water that comes into their houses.

BPA is often described as an emerging contaminant because it can be present at minute concentrations and may not be removed by simple sediment filters. It can enter drinking water through contact with certain plastics, liners, or coatings or via environmental pathways affecting source waters. Replacing kitchen items with BPA-free products helps, but that doesn’t treat the water flowing from every tap. A whole-house strategy in Foley ensures treated water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry throughout your home.
