The extensive use of packaged drinking water in Iran and Iraq, which is due to urbanization, changing lifestyles, and worries about the quality of municipal water, has made it a key source of daily hydration for millions of people. However, making bottles out of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins raises serious health concerns since Bisphenol A (BPA), a well-known endocrine disruptor, could get into the water. Hormonal imbalances, reproductive problems, metabolic ailments, and developmental problems in children have all been related to being exposed to BPA. Even though more and more people around the world are paying attention to BPA and many countries have put rules in place to limit it, there is still not enough systematic monitoring of BPA levels in packaged drinking water in the Iranian and Iraqi markets . This is because the weather, how the water is stored, and how it is transported can all speed up leaching. Because there isn't a lot of detailed data available for the region, this study is highly important for proving that consumers are safe, helping legislators set or change national regulations, and making people more aware of the possible chemical dangers in their drinking water. The study could have a big effect on food safety rules and protect people's health in the area by filling in both public health and regulatory gaps.
