The leaching of Bisphenol-A (BPA) from plastic baby feeding bottles, aluminium cans and thermal printed receipts was investigated under aquatic condition at high temperature. Leached BPA was analysed using UV-Visible Spectrophotometer based on inhibitory effect of BPA on acridine orange oxidation, as a function of change in temperature and time of contact of water with the samples. Proposed method of BPA estimation method does not require any extraction and/or derivatization. The detection limit of BPA under current experimental setup was 0.1 ng/ml. The results of BPA leached from baby feeding PET bottles, aluminium can with epoxy resin lining and thermal paper were 87 ± 10 ng/bottles, 68 ± 5 ng/bottle and 110 ± 15 ng/receipt under the current experimental conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
