PVC manufacturers have presented a study by the Institute of agro-chemistry and technology of food, the CSIC to substantiate the safety of this plastic as a container for water-dependent. The same report, however, is used by Greenpeace to say exactly the opposite. That PVC releases substances to water that can be harmful to health. The parameters analysed in three batches of bottles (liter format and medium) PVC referred for analysis by the National Association of beverage Envasadas water companies (ANEABE) comply with the limits set by law. Yes there is a migration of substances from packaging to the content (from 1.3 to 2.7 milligrams per kilo, according to the sample), but do not specify what substances are. These amounts are within the law.
