Journal ArticleDOI
Bisphenol A--sources, toxicity and biotransformation.
TL;DR: Biotransformation of BPA in animals, plants and microorganisms, resulting in the formation of various metabolites that exhibit different from BPA toxicity will be described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scientific Opinion on the risks to public health related to the presence of bisphenol A (BPA) in foodstuffs: Executive summary
TL;DR: The CEF Panel concluded that there is no health concern for any age group from dietary exposure and low health concern from aggregated exposure, although considerable uncertainty in the exposure estimates for non-dietary sources was relatively low.

Global Assessment of Bisphenol A in the Environment Review and Analysis of Its Occurrence and Bioaccumulation
Jone Corrales,Lauren A. Kristofco,W. Baylor Steele,Brian S. Yates,Christopher S. Breed,E. Spencer Williams,Bryan W. Brooks +6 more
TL;DR: The utility of coordinating global sensing of environmental contaminants efforts through integration of environmental monitoring and specimen banking to identify regions for implementation of more robust environmental assessment and management programs is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bisphenol s, a new bisphenol analogue, in paper products and currency bills and its association with bisphenol a residues.
TL;DR: Among the paper types analyzed, thermal receipt papers were found to be the major sources of human exposure to BPS, and the first report on the occurrence of BPS in paper products and currency bills is reported.

Recent advances in vegetable oil-based polymers and their composites
Chaoqun Zhang,Thomas F. Garrison,Thomas F. Garrison,Samy A. Madbouly,Samy A. Madbouly,Michael R. Kessler +5 more
TL;DR: A review of recent advances in polymeric materials from vegetable oils in terms of preparation, characterization, and properties can be found in this article, where nano-composites and fiber reinforced composites based on bio-polymers matrices are reviewed.

Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the environmental fate, effects, and exposures of bisphenol A.
TL;DR: Bisphenol A (CAS 85-05-7) is "slightly to moderately" toxic and has low potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms, with most levels nondetected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic polymers in the marine environment: A rapidly increasing, long-term threat
TL;DR: Marine plastic debris is divided into two categories: macro, >5 mm and micro, <5 mm, which provide potential danger to marine ecosystems from the accumulation of plastic debris on the sea floor and the potential bioavailability of compounds added to plastics at the time of manufacture, as well as those adsorbed from the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Urinary Bisphenol A Concentration With Medical Disorders and Laboratory Abnormalities in Adults
Iain A. Lang,Tamara S. Galloway,Alan G. Scarlett,William Henley,Michael H. Depledge,Robert B. Wallace,David Melzer +6 more
TL;DR: Higher BPA exposure, reflected in higher urinary concentrations of BPA, may be associated with avoidable morbidity in the community-dwelling adult population.
Journal ArticleDOI
An extensive new literature concerning low-dose effects of bisphenol A shows the need for a new risk assessment.
TL;DR: It is proposed that a new risk assessment for BPA is needed based on the extensive new literature reporting adverse effects in animals at doses below the current reference dose, and the high rate of leaching of BPA from food and beverage containers, leading to widespread human exposure.

Persistence of pharmaceutical compounds and other organic wastewater contaminants in a conventional drinking-water-treatment plant
Paul E. Stackelberg,Edward T. Furlong,Michael T. Meyer,Steven D. Zaugg,Alden K. Henderson,Dori B. Reissman +5 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first documentation that many of the organic wastewater-related contaminants that represent a diverse group of extensively used chemicals can survive conventional water-treatment processes and occur in potable-water supplies.
