Endocrine Disruptive Effects of Bisphenol A on Human

Abstract

Given its widespread use in food packaging and other types of plastic packaging, bisphenol A is a common toxin that people come into contact with on a daily basis. Since it was first discovered to be a prevalent toxin many years ago, bisphenol A has been shown to be present in more than 90% of people. This review's primary goal is to draw the conclusion that BPA, one of the endocrine disruptors, negatively affects human neurological, reproductive, and growth systems. BPA exposure has also been linked to memory loss, impaired reproductive function, and permanent impacts on fetal growth. Further study is required to determine whether BPA has detrimental effects on the development and growth of humans. This study focuses on the three primary effects BPA has on people, suggests caution when using products containing BPA, especially for expectant mothers, and calls for more BPA research to determine the full extent of the risks BPA poses to people and to develop healthier products designs.
