Is bottled water safe after fumigation?

Is bottled water safe after fumigation? Bottled water safety after fumigation depends on whether it was sealed and how it was stored. Unopened bottled water in factory sealed plastic bottles that is left inside a tented house during fumigation may absorb some sulfuryl fluoride because plastic is somewhat permeable, so many fumigation companies recommend removing bottled water or sealing it in Nylofume bags, or discarding it if left exposed. If bottled water was in sealed glass bottles with airtight metal caps, it is considered safe. If you left plastic bottled water inside without protection, best practice is to discard it and use fresh bottles, especially for infants and sensitive individuals, to avoid any chemical ingestion. For water in refrigerator, same rule applies. After aeration, municipal tap water is safe because fumigant does not contaminate pipes. If you bagged bottled water in approved double Nylofume bags provided by fumigator, it is safe to drink. When in doubt, throw it out and replace with new sealed bottles, as water is cheap compared to risk.
