TLDR
G gestational BPA exposure affected behavioral and emotional regulation domains at 3 years of age, especially among girls, and Clinicians may advise concerned patients to reduce their exposure to certain consumer products, but the benefits of such reductions are unclear.
Abstract
To estimate the impact of gestational and childhood bis- phenol A (BPA) exposures on behavior and executive function at 3 years of age and to determine whether child gender modified those associations. METHODS: We used a prospective birth cohort of 244 mothers and their 3-year-old children from the greater Cincinnati, Ohio, area. We characterized gestational and childhood BPA exposures by using the mean BPA concentrations in maternal (16 and 26 weeks of gestation and birth) and child (1, 2, and 3 years of age) urine samples, respec- tively. Behavior and executive function were measured by using the Behavior Assessment System for Children 2 (BASC-2) and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool (BRIEF-P).

Bisphenol A and human health: a review of the literature.

TL;DR: The growing human literature correlating environmental BPA exposure to adverse effects in humans, along with laboratory studies in many species including primates, provides increasing support that environmental B PA exposure can be harmful to humans, especially in regards to behavioral and other effects in children.

EDC-2: The Endocrine Society's Second Scientific Statement on Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals

TL;DR: A much more complete understanding of the endocrine principles by which EDCs act, including nonmonotonic dose-responses, low-dose effects, and developmental vulnerability, can be much better translated to human health.

Neurobehavioural effects of developmental toxicity

TL;DR: To control the pandemic of developmental neurotoxicity, a global prevention strategy is proposed and chemicals in existing use and all new chemicals must therefore be tested for developmental neurotoxicants is proposed.

A review of dietary and non-dietary exposure to bisphenol-A.

TL;DR: The total exposure to BPA is several orders of magnitude lower than the current tolerable daily intake of 50 μg/kg bw/day, and the use of urinary concentrations from biomonitoring studies seems reliable for the overall exposure assessment.

Scientific Opinion on the risks to public health related to the presence of bisphenol A (BPA) in foodstuffs: Executive summary

Flavourings
- 25 Mar 2015 - 
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.

Prevalence and Development of Psychiatric Disorders in Childhood and Adolescence

TL;DR: The risk of having at least 1 psychiatric disorder by age 16 years is much higher than point estimates would suggest and concurrent comorbidity and homotypic and heterotypic continuity are more marked in girls than in boys.

Estimation of Average Concentration in the Presence of Nondetectable Values

TL;DR: In this article, the average concentration of a particular contaminant during some period of time, a certain proportion of the collected samples is often reported to be below the limit of detection.

Neuroscience of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: the search for endophenotypes.

TL;DR: It is proposed that three such endophenotypes — a specific abnormality in reward-related circuitry that leads to shortened delay gradients, deficits in temporal processing that result in high intrasubject intertrial variability, and deficits in working memory — are most amenable to integrative collaborative approaches that aim to uncover the causes of ADHD.

Exposure of the U.S. population to bisphenol A and 4-tertiary-octylphenol: 2003-2004

TL;DR: Urine concentrations of total BPA differed by race/ethnicity, age, sex, and household income, and these first U.S. population representative concentration data for urinary BPA and tOP should help guide public health research priorities.
