چکیده
On behalf of the Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group of the American Chemistry Council (ACC), I am submitting these comments in response to OEHHA’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding the proposed Maximum Allowable Dose Level (MADL) for bisphenol A (BPA). The Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group consists of the leading global manufacturers of BPA and polycarbonate plastic, which for many years have supported and conducted scientific research to understand whether BPA has the potential to cause health or environmental effects and to support scientifically sound public policy.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins; therefore, exposure to BPA is increasing every day. BPA has toxic effects on various human tissues. Curcumin, a yellow polyphenol, is the active turmeric ingredient. It is an efficacious and safe compound with multiple pharmacological activities including antioxidant, ant carcinogenic, ant proliferative, an...
متن کاملPolycarbonate Bottle Use and Urinary Bisphenol A Concentrations
BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA) is a high-production-volume chemical commonly used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastic. Low-level concentrations of BPA in animals and possibly in humans may cause endocrine disruption. Whether ingestion of food or beverages from polycarbonate containers increases BPA concentrations in humans has not been studied. OBJECTIVES We examined the association bet...
متن کاملEffect of Bisphenol A on certain Hematological Parameters of Heteropneustes fossilis, Bloch
Effect of Bisphenol A on the hematological parameters total RBC count, total WBC count and hemoglobin content was assessed in Heteropneustes fossilis caught from wild. Behavioural changes were also monitored. It was found that 72 hour exposure of BPA at a concentration of 0.1g/L has lowered total RBC count and increased WBC count. Hemoglobin concentration in the blood also decreased exposure to...

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA), an estrogenic environmental contaminant is also known for oxidative stressinducing effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin C as an antioxidant on the ovary tissue in adult rats treated with BPA. Materials and Methods: Adult female rats (200 ±20 g) were divided into 4 groups (n=6):control, bisphenol A (60μg/Kg/day) , vitamin C (150 mg...
