Bisphenol A (BPA) in Hanson Florida Water

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

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a man-made chemical used in some plastics and resins that can occasionally show up in water at very low levels. Most people hear about BPA in food packaging, but it can also enter water when plastic materials contact water during manufacturing, storage, or distribution. Because BPA is a trace contaminant, you usually won’t detect it by taste, smell, or appearance. Many Hanson homeowners choose to limit BPA exposure when practical, including taking steps to reduce it in their tap water.

BPA is often labeled an “emerging” contaminant since it can occur at low concentrations that standard sediment filters don’t always remove. It may get into water through contact with certain plastics, liners or coatings, or via broader environmental pathways that affect source waters. Selecting BPA-free containers helps in the kitchen, but it doesn’t treat what arrives at your faucets. For Hanson residences, a whole-house solution brings more consistent water quality for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry across the entire home.
