<em>NEW DELHI: </em>The innocuous feeding bottle could be silently causing serious harm to babies' health in many cities. A study by Toxics Link, an environmental NGO, has found high bisphenol A levels even in BPA-free feeding bottles. Persistent exposure to BPA, a chemical used to harden plastics, has been linked to disruption of normal hormone levels, behavioural problems, increased risk of cancer and many other health issues. Several scientific studies have confirmed that BPA often leaches out from the bottles during boiling, brushing, or vigorous washing.
</p>
<p align="justify">
For the Toxics Link's study, 14 samples of feeding bottles were collected from Delhi, Baripada in Odisha and Bhopal in MP. Researchers were shocked to find 50% of BPA-free samples with BPA levels exceeding the EU threshold of 0.6 parts per million (PPM). In one of the bottles, the BPA concentration was 9.8ppm, about 16 times the limit, and 78.5% of the samples contained BPA.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The feeding bottles in India are regulated by the Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottles and Infant Foods (Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992, as amended in 2003. The act mandates that all the feeding bottles sold in India will have to adhere to the specifications of the Bureau of Indian Standards. &quot;The BIS revised the standard for feeding bottles in 2013 and prepared a draft notification banning BPA. Leave aside enforcement, even the changes have not been notified,&quot; said Satish Sinha, Associate Director, Toxics Link.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Considering the mental and physical impacts on infants, most countries have either phased out BPA or very stringently regulate its use. Canada was the first to ban the use of BPA in baby feeding bottles. The European Union has followed suit, while countries such as the US, France, Japan, China, Malaysia and Turkey have either imposed a ban or opted for a voluntary phase-out.

<em>NEW DELHI: </em>The innocuous feeding bottle could be silently causing serious harm to babies' health in many cities. A study by Toxics Link, an environmental NGO, has found high bisphenol A levels even in BPA-free feeding bottles. Persistent exposure to BPA, a chemical used to harden plastics, has been linked to disruption of normal hormone levels, behavioural problems, increased risk of cancer and many other health issues. Several scientific studies have confirmed that BPA often leaches out from the bottles during boiling, brushing, or vigorous washing.
</p>
<p align="justify">
For the Toxics Link's study, 14 samples of feeding bottles were collected from Delhi, Baripada in Odisha and Bhopal in MP. Researchers were shocked to find 50% of BPA-free samples with BPA levels exceeding the EU threshold of 0.6 parts per million (PPM). In one of the bottles, the BPA concentration was 9.8ppm, about 16 times the limit, and 78.5% of the samples contained BPA.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The feeding bottles in India are regulated by the Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottles and Infant Foods (Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992, as amended in 2003. The act mandates that all the feeding bottles sold in India will have to adhere to the specifications of the Bureau of Indian Standards. &quot;The BIS revised the standard for feeding bottles in 2013 and prepared a draft notification banning BPA. Leave aside enforcement, even the changes have not been notified,&quot; said Satish Sinha, Associate Director, Toxics Link.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Considering the mental and physical impacts on infants, most countries have either phased out BPA or very stringently regulate its use. Canada was the first to ban the use of BPA in baby feeding bottles. The European Union has followed suit, while countries such as the US, France, Japan, China, Malaysia and Turkey have either imposed a ban or opted for a voluntary phase-out.

<em>NEW DELHI: </em>The innocuous feeding bottle could be silently causing serious harm to babies' health in many cities. A study by Toxics Link, an environmental NGO, has found high bisphenol A levels even in BPA-free feeding bottles. Persistent exposure to BPA, a chemical used to harden plastics, has been linked to disruption of normal hormone levels, behavioural problems, increased risk of cancer and many other health issues. Several scientific studies have confirmed that BPA often leaches out from the bottles during boiling, brushing, or vigorous washing.
</p>
<p align="justify">
For the Toxics Link's study, 14 samples of feeding bottles were collected from Delhi, Baripada in Odisha and Bhopal in MP. Researchers were shocked to find 50% of BPA-free samples with BPA levels exceeding the EU threshold of 0.6 parts per million (PPM). In one of the bottles, the BPA concentration was 9.8ppm, about 16 times the limit, and 78.5% of the samples contained BPA.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The feeding bottles in India are regulated by the Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottles and Infant Foods (Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992, as amended in 2003. The act mandates that all the feeding bottles sold in India will have to adhere to the specifications of the Bureau of Indian Standards. &quot;The BIS revised the standard for feeding bottles in 2013 and prepared a draft notification banning BPA. Leave aside enforcement, even the changes have not been notified,&quot; said Satish Sinha, Associate Director, Toxics Link.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Considering the mental and physical impacts on infants, most countries have either phased out BPA or very stringently regulate its use. Canada was the first to ban the use of BPA in baby feeding bottles. The European Union has followed suit, while countries such as the US, France, Japan, China, Malaysia and Turkey have either imposed a ban or opted for a voluntary phase-out.

<em>NEW DELHI: </em>The innocuous feeding bottle could be silently causing serious harm to babies' health in many cities. A study by Toxics Link, an environmental NGO, has found high bisphenol A levels even in BPA-free feeding bottles. Persistent exposure to BPA, a chemical used to harden plastics, has been linked to disruption of normal hormone levels, behavioural problems, increased risk of cancer and many other health issues. Several scientific studies have confirmed that BPA often leaches out from the bottles during boiling, brushing, or vigorous washing.
</p>
<p align="justify">
For the Toxics Link's study, 14 samples of feeding bottles were collected from Delhi, Baripada in Odisha and Bhopal in MP. Researchers were shocked to find 50% of BPA-free samples with BPA levels exceeding the EU threshold of 0.6 parts per million (PPM). In one of the bottles, the BPA concentration was 9.8ppm, about 16 times the limit, and 78.5% of the samples contained BPA.

The feeding bottles in India are regulated by the Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottles and Infant Foods (Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992, as amended in 2003.

Toxic chemical found in feeding bottles
-The Times of India
NEW DELHI: The innocuous feeding bottle could be silently causing serious harm to babies' health in many cities. A study by Toxics Link, an environmental NGO, has found high bisphenol A levels even in BPA-free feeding bottles. Persistent exposure to BPA, a chemical used to harden plastics, has been linked to disruption of normal hormone levels, behavioural problems, increased risk of cancer and many other health issues. Several scientific studies have confirmed that BPA often leaches out from the bottles during boiling, brushing, or vigorous washing.

Researchers were shocked to find 50% of BPA-free samples with BPA levels exceeding the EU threshold of 0.6 parts per million (PPM). In one of the bottles, the BPA concentration was 9.8ppm, about 16 times the limit, and 78.5% of the samples contained BPA.
