Title: Bisphenol A migration from polycarbonate baby bottle with repeated use. Author: Nam SH, Seo YM, Kim MG. Journal: Chemosphere; 2010 May; 79(9):949-52. PubMed ID: 20334893. Abstract: This study was to quantify the migration of bisphenol A (BPA), from new polycarbonate (PC) baby bottle into the water filled in the bottle, with repeated use up to 100 times and extraction by water temperature ranging from 40 degrees C to 100 degrees C. BPA was determined by GC-MS, operated in the selected ion monitoring mode. The concentrations of BPA, migrated from brand-new PC baby bottle, were 0.03ppb and 0.13ppb at 40 degrees C and 95 degrees C, respectively. However, the concentration of BPA from the bottle used for 6months, were 0.18ppb and 18.47ppb at 40 degrees C and 95 degrees C, respectively. The levels of BPA migration were rapidly increased when the water temperature was over 80 degrees C. The variations of BPA level were divided into three regions; lag effect, steady and aging, which showed different increasing rate. PC baby bottle after being utilized 60 times which was correspond to the baby bottle used for 3months started aging. It also showed an increasing rate of 4.9x10(-2)ppbtime(-1). These results are explained by increase in d-spacing of PC baby bottle. The d-spacing of PC baby bottle increases with repeated use from 0.499nm in brand-new bottles to 0.511nm with bottles which had been used for 6months.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
