Dear Manar,

You asked the same question 16 days ago and you had two answers. Maybe you have not seen them. Here is the link.

With my best regards

I find this question interesting. It may deserve to be re-looked.

This question involves / is associated with the following aspects: (a) Degradation of the plastic used (as mentioned by Graymer earlier in his answer) (b) Leaching of additives, that could be present in the concerned plastic (c) Impurities present in stored water (these might catalyse the processes of Degradation / Leaching)

It would be nice if some experts in this field / fields could participate in this discussions.
