Abstract

PET bottles have been marketed since the last four decades and gradually replaced PVC and �glass bottles. In the production and supply of bottled water, there are three main challenges: 1) �the possibility of contamination of groundwater and springs resources due to the entering �agricultural and industrial pollutants; 2) the possibility of the entering organic compounds from �the body of plastic pipes and storage tanks; and 3) the possibility of dissolving the composition �of the bottle body in water due to storage and exposure to light. This study, investigated the �health effects of the use of PET bottles for storage and supply of drinking water by summarizing �the results of studies presented in scientific database of SID, springer and science direct.�Research results show that DEHP, which has the maximum concentration in bottled water �because of its more application compared to other phthalates, has been introduced by the IRIS ��(Integrated Risk Information System) as a potentially pollutant and carcinogenic agent B2 ��(probable human carcinogen). Regarding the non-cancer risk assessment of three phthalates of �BBP, DBP, and DEHP in bottled water in Iran under storage conditions of 45 °C for 45 days, �the Hazard Quotient index obtained resulted with dividing daily received dose by reference dose ��(RFD; μg/kg body weight/day) was less than 1 even in the most vulnerable groups, the children, �and it can be concluded that bottled consumption in Iran has no adverse health effects.�
