does drip irrigation contaminates the water

hello
I use drip irrigation system and I noticed that the water that goes to the plants frome the emitters taste like plastic.
the tubing and the emitters are also exposed to the sun which I belive release more contaminates from tubing and emitters to the water.
I try to grow organicly in containers and avoid chemicals.and I think that ן irrigate unintentionally water that are full with contaminates.
couldnt find any data about it.
any solutions or insights ??
thanks
