Unpropitious Effect of Bisphenol-A and Its Impact on Human Health
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used in the lining of some food and beverage packaging to protect food from contamination and extend shelf life. It’s also used in non-food products. It has been found that BPA has the potential to have a wide range of health effects on humans and other organisms, especially involving reproductive health. People are exposed to BPA throughout the day, mostly through diet, as it can leach from canned goods and plastic storage containers into food, but also through dust and water. The leaching increased dramatically when temperatures rose to 60 degrees. For each source of exposure (dietary; non-dietary oral, inhalation and dermal) and in each age group (infants (0–1 year), toddlers (1–3 years), children (3–10 years), adolescents (10–18 years), women (18–45 years), men (18–45 years), other adults (45–65 years), elderly and very elderly (over 65 years) (EFSA, 2011), a scenario for average exposure and a scenario for high exposure was developed. In order to quantify the relative impact of each source, the assumptions made in the exposure assessments aimed to obtain a similar degree of conservativeness among the different sources.
