Estimates of Safe Doses in Bottled Water
• Assuming 2 l/d intake and 60 kg body weight, the estimates of safe levels of the
mixture in the water range from 0.5 – 1.5 mg/l
• The highest level of the mixture found in the study is less than 0.25 mg/l

Therefore, total toxicity of the migrants at the concentrations reported in
this study does not pose a risk for individuals consuming water from the
polypropylene bottles.
