Water SA paper on PET bottles over 200 days. Not identified as baby bottles. The abstract uses 0.844 µg/L both as a water-side figure and as a concentration in the PET material.
Key numbers
Water results 0.02 to 2.14 µg/L. Maximum 2.14 µg/L at 60 °C after 200 days, above a Japanese limit of 2.00 µg/L that the paper cites (PDF p.1 and p.3). The abstract also calls 0.844 µg/L a concentration in the PET material. That unit is not a weight percent and is not the 2.14 µg/L water result.
Methods (brief)
Leaching study. The Japanese limit is cited, not re-opened as a primary instrument here.
Evidence fitness
Supports the water range and the statement that the abstract’s PET-material unit does not match a weight percent. Does not support a baby-bottle result.
Limitations
The two uses of 0.844 µg/L are not reconciled.
