Summary:
On behalf of Norwegian Consumer Council, NILU has conducted analyses of organic contaminants and metals in the leachate from selected coffee-cups. The simulation of the leakage is conducted based on a compilation of the methods described within NS-EN-1186-9 and NS-EN-13130-1. The instrumental analytical methods used were already established at NILU and NIVA. A number of different organic contaminants and metals have been found in trace amounts in the different products.
