Is my Pur brand pitcher water filter doing more harm than good?
Lately I have heard that hard plastics contain toxic chemicals and that they should not be used as water bottles. However, my water pitcher filter is made of hard plastic. I use it to make my water clean enough to drink, but is it actually adding more toxins?

I have been concerned about the presence of chemicals in my drinking water as well. I tried looking for some information on the Pur and Brita websites. I could not find the specific info I was looking for. Fortunately, I saw this blog post, that publishes what its author supposedly received from Pur and Brita. The author is slightly in favor of Brita, and I slight agree with this blogger. Still, I do not feel safe drinking through Pur or Brita. However, I actually use both of them. I am not just concerned about BPA. Styrene, the word does not sound very friendly to human bodies. However, I really have no other option. I have checked out expensive industrial water purifiers, but I have been compromised financially to even consider making such major investment.
