9. http://www.nrdc.org/water/drinking/bw/chap1.asp Quality of Bottled Water Findings 1.Most bottled water apparently is of good quality, but some contains contamination; it should not automatically be assumed to be purer or safer than most tap water. 2. Bottled water contamination with microbes may raise public health issues, particularly for people who are immunocompromised. 3.
