A report in the Waste and Recycling News magazine said a Sigg CEO admitted that some of Sigg’s famous stainless steel water bottles contain some traces of bisphenol A (BPA). Sigg has been a leader in the reusable safe water bottles. This company has not revealed this information until now and this could hurt their image.
Well, have no fear if you bought your Sigg this year; but if your pricey Sigg stainless steel bottles were made before August 2008, they may contain some traces of the dreaded BPA.
If you need a trusted stainless steel water bottle you should consider either Klean Kanteen or the Aquasana Aqua Kanteen. In fact, Klean Kanteen has assured consumers that its products are BPA-Free.

A recent study has shown that wastewater carries some unnatural additives—pollutants that may also be present in drinking water. Researchers at the Water Technology Center in Karlsruhe, Germany, found artificial sweeteners in water even after it had gone through sewage treatment. And these artificial sweeteners could be finding their way into drinking water.
This most recent study showed that the sweeteners are present in rivers and streams that receive water from sewage treatment plants. Additionally, water was tested after going through two different kinds of treatment: conventional wastewater treatment and advanced wastewater treatment by soil aquifer. The artificial sweeteners were found in the water after both treatment methods, suggesting that even the more advanced method is not sufficient in removing these pollutants.
