As long as the plastic bottles have been constantly cool or cold, the water is fine. However, if bottles are left out in a warm or hot place, there are a number of chemicals which leach out from the plastic. These chemicals (polyphenols and others) are potentially hazardous to your health, if ingested regularly and chronically.

Also, the plastic is not readily biodegradable and, therefore, bad for the environment.

Answer:

Bottled water has been found to contain pathogens (microbes) and organic contaminants such as benzene due to its source. In many cases bottled water is simply potable water from a local city supply repackaged in bottles.
