I didn't think it had anything to do with plastic from the bottles the water is sold in. Where is that assumption coming from?

"It's not clear how the plastic is getting into the bottled water — whether it's the water source itself or the air or the manufacturing and bottling process.

"Even the simple act of opening the cap could cause plastic to be chipping off the cap," Mason said."
