Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in bottled waters. The examined compounds were bisphenol A (BPA), nonylphenol (NP), tert-octylphenol (tOP), dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and di(n-octyl)phthalate (DNOP). The presence of EDCs in bottled waters under poor storage conditions was also investigated after exposure outdoors under realistic conditions for 15 and 30 days. EDCs were recovered after liquid-liquid extraction and determined by employing Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Most of these compounds were detected in bottled water from different brands purchased from local market. Storage at outdoor conditions had no significant effect on the concentrations of the examined compounds. Only BPA occurred at higher concentrations in polycarbonate containers exhibited an increasing trend during exposure. The estimated exposure to EDCs via consumption of drinking water was very low.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 October 2023.
All research outputs
#3,798,611
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Hazardous Materials
#547
of 7,088 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#15,153
of 106,620 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Hazardous Materials
#6
of 56 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,088 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 106,620 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 56 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
