Bisphenol A (BPA) in Glass Florida Water

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

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a manufactured chemical used in certain plastics and resins that can sometimes make its way into water in very small amounts. Many Glass homeowners are familiar with BPA from food packaging, but it can also transfer when plastic contacts water during production, storage, or transport. Because BPA is typically present only at trace levels, you’re unlikely to detect it by taste, smell, or appearance—yet many families in Glass prefer to minimize exposure whenever feasible, including in their tap water.

BPA is often described as an emerging contaminant because it may occur at low concentrations that standard sediment filters don’t always remove. It can enter the water supply through contact with certain plastics, liners, or coatings, or via environmental pathways that affect source waters. Choosing BPA-free products in the kitchen helps, but that doesn’t treat the water coming into your Glass home. A whole-house filtration strategy provides consistent treatment for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry throughout the house.
