Our water, like much of our food, is poisonous. Though at low enough levels that it can take years or decades before the chronic health problems begin to show up.
The CDC recently found in a study that ~80% of people have glyphosate in their urine.
What water do you drink? A lot of bottled water comes from tax supported municipal water sources through water rights loopholes, so you could be paying more just to drink similar water.
Unfortunately, I feel like this comment encapsulates the current state of the western world in a nutshell:
Let’s build a new complex system around bottling plastic, delivery trucks, with competing brands for sale at 10x the price instead of publicly maintained aqueducts and pipes that have been used successfully since Roman times, and advocating for rigorous standards and fixing issues at the source.
Bottling water doesn’t scale and has significantly more waste (C02 from trucking diesel exhaust and plastic)

With the sensitivity of today's testing tools, you can find at least a trace of absolutely anything in tap water if you want to.
And sure, we should study the impact of microplastics on human health in more detail. But these hysterical titles... ugh.
Buy an RO system for your drinking water at home if you're worried. At the very least it'll taste better than the tap.

Am thinking here about microplastics, FPOA, drug residues...

They also make no claims that it does & if it did I'd imagine their marketing dept would be all over that
Definitely noticed tangible changes on limescale levels though, so it does seem to filter that well
