Abstract
ⶠUsing an in vitro bioassay we investigate the estrogenic activity of bottled water. ⶠInappropriate sample preparation may lead to false-negative results. ⶠ60% of the investigated products induced significant estrogenic effects. ⶠEstrogenicity in water from plastic bottles is three times higher compared to glass. ⶠContamination of bottled water results in human exposure to endocrine disruptors.
