Bisphenol A and Risk Assessment

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 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...

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...

Sensitive determination of bisphenol A and bisphenol F in canned food using a solid-phase microextraction fibre coated with single-walled carbon nanotubes before GC/MS.

A reliable and sensitive method for simultaneous determination of bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol F (BPF) in canned food by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is described after extraction and pre-concentration by a new solid-phase microextraction (SPME) adsorbent. The potential of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as SPME adsorbent for the pre-concentration of environmental con...
