Butylated Hydroxytoluene

10000 - 100000 tonnes per annum

BHT was detected in agricultural irrigation water in Spain.  In an Italian study BHT was detected in all samples of conventional milk and in 10 % of organic milk samples. It was also detected in Japanese mineral water in glass bottles, but not in plastic bottles. It was suggested that the compound derived from the bottle cap.
