Flint families worry water from plastic bottles may not be safe
A new study claims water bottle drinkers could be consuming microparticles of plastic from bottled water.
Flint homeowner and breast cancer survivor Shirley Snowden worries about what goes into her body.
She has been dealing with the water crisis since the beginning.
She buys spring water for drinking but uses the state-provided water for cooking and rinsing vegetables.
Water activists say the water provided for free at distribution sites are not one of the brands reportedly tainted with tiny particles of plastic, but Snowden is still concerned.
Snowden says it’s hard to trust anyone after the city was failed by so many public officials for so long.
"They are using cheap bottles giving it to us and we are the ones being effected," she says.
Researchers at Orb Media say they tested more than 250 bottles of water from 11 different brands.
Researchers say tiny particles of plastic was found in 93% of the bottles. "
