Bottled water found dangerous to human connection
A group of scientists from Germany analyzed water samples that they took from commercially available plastic bottles. As a result, they learned that in this water there are chemical compounds that can disrupt the endocrine system of humans.
Some substances that are used in the production of plastics, interfere with the hormonal system (Europeans carry them to class EDC). They are especially dangerous for the reproductive cycles and human development.
Many species have similar compounds in plastic products which are widely used for storing food and water. So, has long been known that bisphenol-a is one of these malicious substances: until recently it was possible to find even the bottles of baby food.
In the future, scientists found that in 13 of the samples are anti-estrogens, and 16 − antiandrogens. This once again confirmed the suspicions of researchers about the presence of harmful endocrine substances in drinking bottled water. Overall, they found 24520 different chemicals in water samples.
In particular, bottled water discovered the substance di (2-ethylhexyl)fumarate. Scientists note that it is unknown what harm can the substance body whether and in what doses.
