Abstract Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the highest volume chemicals produced worldwide. It has been used in the chemical industry for the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. The polycarbonate plastics are commonly used for packaging food and manufacturing products, such as plastic bottles and compact disks. Epoxy resins are used in the lining of food cans, protective coatings and dental sealants. In some cases, these products contain minute amounts of unreacted monomeric BPA, which can leach from the material and came into contact with or be ingested by humans. Human exposure to BPA is frequent and widespread, ingestion of BPA from food is the predominant route of exposure, accounting from 90-99% of exposure of adults and children. |
