Bisphenol A (BPA) in Maysland Florida Water

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

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a man-made chemical used in some plastics and resins that can sometimes end up in small amounts in water. While people most often hear about BPA in food packaging, it can also enter water when plastic parts or coatings come into contact with water during production, storage, or distribution. Because BPA is a trace contaminant, it usually doesn’t change taste, smell, or appearance, so many Maysland homeowners choose to limit exposure where practical, including by treating tap water.

BPA is commonly described as an emerging contaminant because it can occur at very low levels and may not be removed by simple sediment or particulate filters. It can get into water through interaction with certain plastics, liners, or coatings, or via environmental routes that affect source waters. Choosing BPA-free products in the kitchen helps, but that doesn’t address the water coming through every tap in a Maysland house. A whole-house system treats water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry so the whole home benefits from more consistent water quality.
