文摘
BPA and environmental estrogen levels were assayed in potable water samples (38 tap water, 36 well water, 18 river water and 24 rain water samples) that were randomly collected from the different parts of Enugu metropolis, south-east Nigeria. The mean?±?SD estrogen levels in tap, well, river and rain water samples were 0.10?±?0.09, 0.05?±?0.02, 0.05?±?0.02 and 0.05?±?0.02?μg/L respectively. Also, the mean BPA levels (μg/L) in the different water sources were 0.20?±?0.07, 0.21?±?0.07, 0.18?±?0.04, and 0.40?±?0.16, respectively. There was statistically significant difference (p?=?0.0227) in BPA levels between the harvested rain water and the drinking tap water.
