Quantitative Assessment of Bisphenol A in Multiple Brands of Bottled Drinking Water in Iran

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the hazardous materials causing disruption of endocrine pathways. Due to water contamination by this component from multiple sources and the associated health problems, BPA has been the focus of multiple studies. It has been proved that BPA may cause harm because of its impact on estrogenic receptors in human and other organisms. Methods: In this study, ...

Bisphenol A and Risk Assessment

Bisphenol-A in Dental Composites

The presence of plastic polymers in dental composites has caused uncertainty in the minds of people who are suspicious of the potential impact of plastics on human health. In particular, one component of composite resins, bisphenol-A (BPA), has attracted attention because it can act as a xenoestrogen. For better or for worse, all dental materials are non-biological chemicals, and the only way w...

Does Rapid Metabolism Ensure Negligible Risk from Bisphenol A?

BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA) risks are being evaluated by many regulatory bodies because exposure is widespread and the potential exists for toxicity at low doses. OBJECTIVE We evaluated evidence that BPA is cleared more rapidly in humans than in rats in relation to BPA risk assessment. DISCUSSION The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) relied on pharmacokinetic evidence to conclude that ...

Evaluation of EFSA’s new Scientific Opinion on Bisphenol A

DTU has focused on Part 2 that gives the background for the new EFSA temporary TDI of 4 μg/kg bw/day. In addition, the overall conclusion with regards to risk assessment has been considered. DTU has not made a specific evaluation of the EFSA exposure assessment (i.e. Part 1). DTU has in September 2013 evaluated the EFSA draft exposure assessment and concluded the draft was of high quality and b...
