>So where were these particles coming from?
>The answer lay not in the bottle, but in the cap—specifically, the paint coating the outside of the metal caps used to seal glass bottles.
>“We then noticed that in the glass, the particles emerging from the samples were the same shape, color and polymer composition—so therefore the same plastic—as the paint on the outside of the caps that seal the glass bottles,” Chaib told AFP.
>Those bottle caps, coated with colorful paints and stacked during storage, developed tiny scratches invisible to the naked eye, according to ANSES. The friction between them, along with general handling and transport, caused minuscule flakes of paint—made from synthetic polymers—to slough off and end up in the liquid beneath.
just don't buy the French bottles with the painted lids
