According to a new research, it was shown that the people who consider themselves safe from water contamination because they use bottled water rather than from the public supplies, were equally under threat of contacting water borne diseases.

This revelation came as a part of the national bladder cancer study. Research has been conducted all over Spain and about 1270 people have been questioned in this regard.

They were questioned about their preferred way of water consumption and how many times have they fallen ill etc. It was found out that the water supplies in the bottles are as contaminated with Cancer causing germs as the water running from taps.

It was found that the high level of trihalomethanes (THM) chemicals found in chlorinated water is the element that poses a scare of Cancer. It was found that this chemical can enter the human body through skin pores as well through public swimming pools and in skin baths and showers.

Dr Gemma Casta'o-Vinyals, who led the investigation, said, "People with more money and more education may think that they're reducing their risk of exposure to water contaminants by drinking bottled water. However, despite being apparently cleaner and taking more exercise a result of taking more frequent and longer baths, and using swimming pools more often they are actually increasing their risk of THM exposure”.
