Hacettepe University Nutrition Research Center (H\u00dcGAM) has researched the risk of migration of Bisfenol A to drinking water which is suspected to be carcinogenic as a result of its &#8220;endocrine deforming\u0094 effect.<\/p>\n<p>H\u00dcGAM Deputy Manager and the president of research team Prof. Dr. Yasar Kemal Erdem said that during the research that was completed approximately in 3 months, by using the samples received from the market, they had tested migration levels of BPA in PC water dispensers to the water and they had found out that these levels were much below the international health limits.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Dr. Erdem, who is also the Head of Engineering Faculty, Food Engineering Department added in his explanation that by taking into account the possibility of direct sun exposure to the water dispenser, they had also kept the dispenser under 35\u00b0C\u0092 temperature,  but even in such a case, they had measured BPA migration level as  0,003 mg\/kg maximum. Prof. Dr. Erdem said: &#8220;If we consider that this level is even less than 1\/200 of 0,6 mg\/kg which is the daily permitted legal level both in EU and Turkish legislation, we can say that the existence of BPA in Polycarbonate water dispensers is not threating human health\u0094. Prof. Dr. Erdem indicated that with this level of BPA, an adult has to drink 1,200 lt. (60 dispenses) water and a child has to drink 120 lt (6 dispenses) water in a day to face a risk of health.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A scientific research carried out by H\u00dcGAM \u0096 Hacettepe University Nutrition Research Center replied the allegations that the Bisfenol A amount in polycarbonate water dispensers was threating human health. .
