• BPA
• chemical contamination
• children's intake
• sugary beverages

Bisphenol A (BPA) was determined in sugary carbonated, non-carbonated and milk-based beverages, through HLPC-fluorescence detection and confirmed by LC-MS/MS, in a selection of brands that are mostly consumed by Italian children. The daily intake was determined through the WHO budget method (BM). BPA was found at detectable levels in 57% of carbonated beverages, in 50% of non-carbonated and in 100% of milk-based beverages. The median concentrations were 1.24 mu gl(-1) (range = <LOD-4.98 mu gl(-1)) in canned carbonated beverages and 0.18 mu gl(-1) (<LOD-1.78 mu gl(-1)) in non-canned carbonated beverages. In non-carbonated beverages, median concentrations were 0.80 mu gl(-1) (<LOD-2.79 mu gl(-1)) and 0.18 mu gl(-1) (<LOD-3.58 mu gl(-1)), respectively, for canned and non-canned beverages; in milk-based products the BPA median concentration was 3.60 mu gl(-1) (1.00-17.65 mu gl(-1)). BPA daily intake from sugary drink consumption in children ranged from 0.008 to 1.765 mu gkg(-1) bwday(-1). The median exposure values for the 'best' and 'worst' cases were 0.16% and 0.47% respectively of the EFSA t-TDI for BPA (4 mu gkg(-1) bwday(-1)), and 10.59% and 35.30% of the t-TDI when the maximum levels were considered.
