The migration of bisphenols from beverage cans and reusable sports bottles
Abstract
A precise and accurate GC-MS/MS method with ng L-1 LLOQs, acceptable recovery (78-107%) and estimated uncertainty (U > 20%, except at LLOQ) was developed following the Eurachem guidelines. We established the migration and stability of twelve bisphenols in two food simulants (C: 20% ethanol, and B: 3% acetic acid) from beverage cans (n = 16) and reusable metal and plastic sports bottles (n = 51). Bisphenols were stable in dried (eight weeks, -20 °C) and derivatised extracts (seven days, 21 °C). Cans leached BPA (<5865 ng L-1), three BPF isomers (8.2-1286 ng L-1) and BPAP (1.6 ng L-1), while bottles leached BPA (<222 ng L-1) and BPF, BPE, BPB and BPZ (1.1-4.6 ng L-1). Simulant C was more aggressive than simulant B, and concentrations of bisphenols decreased with consecutive exposure to simulants. Levels of BPA migrating from cans did not exceed the specific migration limits.

Cell Migration
Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
