We show that higher-order vacuum polarization would contribute a measureable
net charge to atoms, if the charges of electrons and positrons do not balance
precisely. We obtain the limit $|Q_e+Q_{\bar e}| < 10^{-18} e$ for the sum of
the charges of electron and positron. This also constitutes a new bound on
certain violations of PCT invariance.
