Experimental System Diagram Two sets of pre-treatments were performed in this study. The goal of the first set was to examine the generation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the containers when they were exposed to irradiation without any solution inside. The aim of the second set was to analyze the VOCs generated from the containers under irradiation when they were filled halfway with different solution matrices. The irradiation experiments were carried out under conditions simulating the exposure of bottled water to sunlight. Two different types of irradiation were used: the first group underwent solar treatment, while the second group was subjected to UV-A treatment. The VOCs produced during these treatments were analyzed using Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS).

Fig 5. Circosplots of co-medication pairs with ORs >1 with known (left) or unknown (right) DDIs. Relations between an index drug and its co-medication are marked by connecting bands, with the width of each band proportional to the number of pairs found between two therapeutic groups (the thinnest ribbon represents one pair, e.g. C07-P01 in the set of known DDIs and A10-N04 in the set of unknown DDIs). The outer ring corresponds to the anatomical main groups, and the inner ring corresponds to the therapeutic groups. Colour of connecting bands corresponds to the anatomical group of the co-medication. See colour legend in Fig 1. The most abundant known DDI relations were observed between N05-N06, N05-N05 and B01-J01. Unknown DDIs mostly involved the therapeutic groups J01 (e.g. J01-A10), B05 (e.g. B05-N02), A12 (e.g. A12-R03), A10 (e.g. B01-A10), R03 (e.g. J01-R03) and M05 (e.g. B01-M05). DDI: drug-drug interaction. OR: odds ratio.

Dosage tweaks may hint at undiscovered interactions between medications
