Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical produced in large quantities for use primarily in the production of
polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. As an endocrine disrupting compound, it has been included in the list
of substances requiring special supervision as a very high-risk substance due to its toxic influence on reproduction.
BPA with a reference value of 0.01 μg/L was included in the Drinking Water Directive revision (DWD 2018).
This paper presents the results of preliminary studies aimed at identifying the occurrence of BPA in different
types of water, i.a. groundwater captured with house wells or flowing wells in a selected location in southern Poland.
These waters are commonly used as a source of water intended for human consumption and their quality is
not regularly controlled. Additional tests were carried out for surface water, as well as water from springs used for
drinking purposes. The authors also analysed tap water from various sources, i.e. surface and groundwater, as the
final product of the drinking water production cycle.
The results indicate the presence of BPA in water and the necessity of a detailed study on the risk of the BPA occurring
in groundwater, especially in domestic wells.
