Abstract
The estimated child intake ranged from 0.01 μg/kg/day for BBP to 0.24 μg/kg/day for DEHP. Estimated phthalate intakes are generally in the safe range and exposure decreased with increasing age. Toxicological risk assessment of the maximum concentrations measured revealed a maximum HQ of 0.012 in the worst condition. Furthermore, a negligible carcinogenic risk of 6.5 Ã 10â 7 for DEHP was observed. Consequently, risk evaluation showed that bottled water is safe for consumption by children.
