Plastic water bottles should ideally be used only a few times before recycling them, typically around 1-2 times for single-use bottles. Reusing them for an extended period can lead to the leaching of harmful chemicals, especially if exposed to heat or sunlight. It's best to switch to a reusable water bottle made from stainless steel, glass, or BPA-free plastic for long-term use. Always check for signs of wear or damage, as these can increase health risks.

Can plastic kill whales?
Why plastic is more dangerous... than what? Your question isn't complete, however, I can still give you a reason why plastic is more dangerous than metal. (In water bottle form.) Plastic is more dangerous than metal in water bottle form because when plastic heats up (like say it's left in a hot car for a long time) it releases a chemical called Bisphenol A (BPA) into the water or whatever is in your water bottle. This is potentially harmful. Metal does not release this kind of chemical. I hope I helped!! :)
