Non-Intentionally Added Substances in PET-Bottled Mineral Water

In Europe, the EU Regulations No. 1935/2004 and 10/2011 set out, respectively, the general principles of safety and inertness for all packaging materials, and rules on the composition of plastic food-contact materials. Among the plastics commonly used for bottled water and other non-alcoholic refreshment beverages, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most favoured thanks to its chemical and physicalstability, its transparency, low weight and good recyclability. Further, very few additives are used for its manufacture. Nonetheless, due to the complex formulations of polymers, processes and storage, NIAS can also be found in PET-bottled water, with potential cancerogenic or toxic effects.
This book provides an overview of the European regulation of NIAS in plastic packaging materials, offering insights into their chemical composition in PET-bottled water. Lastly, it provides a useful discussion on NIAS and their toxicity.
Maria Anna Coniglio is a Medical Doctor who graduated from the University of Catania in 1998 and specialized in Hygiene and Preventive Medicine at the same university in 2002, where she also began her research activities in the fields of health promotion and epidemiology of infectious and non-infectious diseases. She has been an Aggregate Professor at the University of Catania since 2005; a member of the Sicilian Commission for the Application of Legionella Guidelines since 2011; and Director of the Regional Reference Laboratory for Clinical and Environmental Legionella Surveillance (Catania branch) since 2012. In collaboration with the Local Health Unit she has organized several training courses on health promotion. She has published several papers in national and international journals on health promotion, epidemiology and the prevention of infectious and non-infectious diseases.
