Fuji Mineral Water Plastic Bottle
Summary
Fuji Mineral Water scores 58/100. Independent testing flagged 8 contaminants including arsenic ~98x the OEHHA health guideline, turbidity ~2x, vanadium ~3x, plus antimony, nickel, nitric/sodium-acid residues, and tin. Plastic bottle adds a likely microplastic risk.
At a glance
Contaminants 2
Source: EWG
Arsenic 0.392 µg/L Low
Detected at a low level — 0.392 µg/L, roughly 25× below the EPA's enforceable drinking-water limit of 10 µg/L, though above the strictest precautionary public-health goal. Not an acute concern at this level, but lower is always better for arsenic, a known carcinogen.
Arsenic detected at 0.392 µg/L, more than 10× EWG's strict health guideline of 0.004 µg/L; below the EPA legal limit of 10 µg/L.
Antimony Detected Trace
Detected only in trace amounts near the detection limit — far below health-based exposure limits set by regulators such as the FDA, EPA, and EFSA. Not a meaningful health concern at normal use. Antimony detected at trace level (0.9 µg/L), well below typical safety concerns.
Independent third-party testing.
Key ingredients 16
TurbidityBad
Elevated turbidity (suspended particulates) can shield pathogens from disinfection and indicates poor source quality. Reported value: 0.54 ppm (~2x guideline).
See more about Turbidity →NickelBad
Nickel can cause allergic contact dermatitis, respiratory sensitization, and has carcinogenic potential on inhalation. Reported value: 0.00031 ppm.
See more about Nickel →VanadiumVery Bad
Vanadium can be toxic at higher doses with respiratory and renal effects; not desirable in drinking water. Reported value: trace (~3x guideline).
See more about Vanadium →Nitric acidBad
Nitric acid is corrosive and indicates either contamination or industrial residue; not desirable in drinking water. Reported value: 0.52 ppm.

Sodium at 0.323 mg/L — supports electrolyte balance at this level.
See more about Sodium acid →TinBad
Tin in water can come from packaging/equipment; gastrointestinal irritation is possible at higher doses. Reported value: 0.01 ppm.

Chloride supports electrolyte balance, acid-base homeostasis, and proper nerve and muscle function. Reported value: 0.69 ppm.
See more about Chloride →SodiumGood
Sodium is an essential electrolyte for nerve transmission and fluid balance. Naturally occurring in mineral water at moderate levels. Reported value: 4.97 ppm.
See more about Sodium →Total HardnessGood
Total Hardness is a beneficial mineral. Reported value: 44.72 ppm.
