Abstract

Background: Phthalates are main ingredients of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles used for storage of water. These compounds can cause adverse effects on human health. The purpose of this study was the quantification of the amounts of phthalates migrated in bottled water as well as the risk assessment of those compounds. Methods: This cross sectional study was performed on 15 PET bottled water samples of popular brands distributed in Isfahan city, Iran. The samples were immediately sent to laboratory for analysis. Amounts of Phthalic Anhydride (PA), di-2 ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), di-buthyl phthalate (DBP), di-ethyl phthalate (DEP), and terphthalic acid (TPA) in bottled water samples were measured using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Risk assessment of migrated compounds were calculated and com- pared with Hazard Quito (HQ) standards. Results: The ranges of PA, DEHP, DBP, and TPA were 2.3-26, 171-845, 30-2251, and 24-657 ppb, respectively. DEP was not found in none of the analyzed samples. HQ levels of DEHP, TPA, and DBP were more than 1 in bottled water. Conclusion: In the current study, the concentration of DEHP, TPA, and DBP in some bottled water of Isfahan, Iran were higher than the permitted limits. Also, HQ levels of these three migrated compounds were more than 1 in bottled water that is alarming for public health in this region of Iran.

伊朗伊斯法罕地区瓶装水中邻苯二甲酸酯类化合物的风险评估

背景:邻苯二甲酸盐是用于储水的聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)瓶的主要成分。这些化合物会对人体健康造成不利影响。本研究的目的是对瓶装水中迁移的邻苯二甲酸盐的数量进行量化，并对这些化合物进行风险评估。方法:对分布在伊朗伊斯法罕市的15种流行品牌PET瓶装水样品进行横断面研究。样品被立即送到实验室进行分析。采用气相色谱-质谱联用(GC-MS)法测定了瓶装水样品中邻苯二甲酸二乙己酯(DEHP)、邻苯二甲酸二丁酯(DBP)、邻苯二甲酸二乙酯(DEP)和对苯二甲酸(TPA)的含量。计算迁移性化合物的风险评价，并与危害基多(HQ)标准进行比较。结果:PA、DEHP、DBP、TPA分别为2.3 ~ 26、171 ~ 845、30 ~ 2251、24 ~ 657 ppb。在所有分析样本中均未发现DEP。瓶装水中DEHP、TPA和DBP的含量均大于1。结论:本研究中，伊朗伊斯法罕部分瓶装水中DEHP、TPA、DBP的浓度均高于允制值。此外，这三种迁移化合物在瓶装水中的HQ含量超过1，这对伊朗该地区的公共卫生来说是令人震惊的。
