Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor chemical whose migration from food packaging is known worldwide. However, the actual overall food contamination and related consequences are not yet fully known. Among humans, exposure of children to Bisphenol A component is considered risky due to the immaturity of their biological systems. Today, the effect on reproduction of the chemical Bisphenol A, which leaks from commercially available plastic containers used for child feeding, is still to be evaluated by performing ecotoxicological tests. Acute and chronic tests and single and multi-generation tests were performed. Migration of this chemical from baby bottles and other plastic containers evaluated by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS) reveals that a wider range of foodstuffs can be contaminated when packaged with plastics.
Low exposure to Bisphenol A is safe for humans, according to most studies and analyzes and evaluations by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The amount of BPA exposed in the normal diet has been found to have minimal health effects. It has been demonstrated that people, regardless of age and gender, expel BPA from their bodies later through urine. However, concerns remain about the impact of BPA on human health. The chemical bisphenol A can upset the hormonal balance in humans because it acts as an endocrine disruptor. However, research is ongoing to further explore and understand how this chemical affects the human body.
Today, bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used to produce polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. It is used all over the world for a variety of applications including but not limited to the manufacture of the following materials: compact discs, feeding bottles, water bottles, beverage containers, food packaging and cans, water supply pipes, medical devices and safety equipment. Filling pastes used in dental treatment also contain bisphenol A. For most people, exposure to bisphenol A is usually through diet. BPA found in various food and beverage containers, from packaging to consumed food. pass.
Our organization also provides bisphenol A migration testing services with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
