Abstract
The wide applications of polycarbonate (PC) and other polymers in the kitchen ware and food storage containers increase the risk of human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), mainly through food and water. BPA results in endocrine disorders in humans; health impacts caused by the chemical vary with body weight and exposure dosage. The present study aims to test the safety of using PC bottles, for feeding infants with respect to BPA and the migration rate of BPA from the containers, while storing hot water at 70°C, for 1 h. Three different popular brands of PC baby feeding bottles were subjected to the tests. BPA residues were extracted with ethyl acetate and quantified using HPLC with PDA detector. The test reveals that BPA migrates from PC baby feeding bottles at 19 ng ml -1 of hot water (70°C), stored for 1 h.
