We live in a time were plastic and plastic products are all around us, taking part in our everyday life. Several chemical additives can be present in plastic products, such as plastic bottles, and can have a big impact on development, as well as on the endocrine system in adults by the binding to, and disturbance of, the estrogen receptor (ER) in cells. This study has focused on a number of different plastic bottles made from different types of plastic and with variations in size and scope of use. The aim of the study was to see if any estrogenic substances leached from the bottles into water. Non-ionic water was added to the plastic bottles, and the bottles were kept at 70°C for 72 hours. The estrogenic activity in the water was determined...
