Bisphenol A

Item H form Mrs. Atkins is provided form the website bisphenol-a.org. the article was written in July 2007. The article “Bisphenol A fact sheet,” originates from the Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group. Bisphenol A is a chemical block used to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Most of BPA that is being consumed at manufacturing sites, produce low levels of bisphenol A to the environment. BPA factors are stated as a non-risk to the environment because, of the low amount of BPA is released into the environment when being produced. When BPA gets in contact with the environment, it breaks down and turns into sediments. The sediment spreads across region of where the BPA is produced. Because the measurements of bisphenol A are low, they do…

There are biological and environmental effects that Bisphenol A causes or may cause and the first evidence of the estrogenicity of bisphenol A came from experiments on rats conducted in the 1930s, but it was not until 1997 that adverse effects of low-dose exposure on laboratory animals were first reported. Bisphenol A is an endocrine disruptor that can mimic estrogen and has been shown to cause negative health effects in animal studies. To be specific, bisphenol A closely mimics the structure…

Bisphenol A is widely used in plastics to form different types of materials for daily use in society. However these plastics such as containers, may expose people to small amounts of BPA in food and water. The exposure of BPA comes primarily from consumption of food, as there was a national survey given out by the CDC(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) as there was BPA found in urine more than 90% of the people being studied. In one of the research articles, a team of scientist…

Bisphenol A, is a commercial chemical often used in the making of polycarbonates and epoxy resin. Polycarbonates are often used in the making of plastic food and beverage containers, such. Epoxy resin is often used in the lining of food cans and the tops of bottles. This is dangerous because it poses a threat to human health. Bisphenol A also known as BPA can seep through the plastic container and into the food or beverage itself. Exposure to BPA can have a negative impact on the…

Chapter One Introduction Do you ever wonder what happens to water that has been exposed to heat? Usually, when running errands, we forget about our refreshments and leave them sitting in our car. This exposure to solar energy heats up the polycarbonate plastic bottle and initiates the release of Bisphenol A, or BPA. Although it is not emitted in large quantities, the progressive consumption of BPA can have negative effects on the brain, behavior, and prostate glands in fetuses, infants, and…

The main factors that the common man should know about plastic are the two extreme chemicals that are being ingested by using plastic in a way that shouldn’t be used, and the different ways plastic affect humans. These three general points alone would scare people away from the overuse of plastic. One of the main chemicals that is in plastic is Bisphenol A (BPA), and this is regularly used for containers, bottles, and even can liners. BPA is an unnatural endocrine disruptor which can mess up a…

Introduction For a long time, chemistry has been used to change our lives for good. New studies and researches have been promoted, seeking to offer improvement in many fields, like in the medicine, technology and food industry. Chemistry is so inserted in our daily lives, that we usually do not take notice of it, neither of how it’s used. Like many other things, some topics of chemistry are surrounded by plenty of questioning and controversies among scientist and researchers, until a safe and…

might be healthier than the tap water, but most of the time it do not. Bisphenol A is an issue to our health, but people have no concept on what is it and how is it affecting us. Plastic that made non-reusable water bottles have been found to contain with danger chemicals such as Bisphenol A and phthalates. Bisphenol A, as known as BPA, it is used to make the bottle solid and crystal clear. According to Medical News Today, Bisphenol A is a dangerous chemical that appear in solid plastics and…

Evaluate the effect oral administration of Bisphenol A on tissue and liver enzymes, serum lipids and blood glucose in rats Abstract: Background and Purpose:Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic compound of carbon with chemical formula is (CH3)2C (C6H4OH) 2 Diphenyl methane derivatives belonging to the group. BPA has harmful effects on mammals.Because of endocrine disrupters can be on serum lipids, tissue and serum liver enzymes and blood sugar affect, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects…

BPA (bisphenol-A) is an industrial chemical that is widely used in commercial products such as, hard plastic food and beverage containers as well as hygiene products. It is one of the most well-known and widely used chemical that can affect the endocrine system. BPA is an example of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), which are chemicals known to disrupt and affect the normal functions of the endocrine system. (Fraser, D. 2012) It can also be used in baby bottles and in the lining of canned…
