“…Bisphenol A (2,2-(4,4-dihydroxydiphenyl)propane, BPA) has been widely used as an important industrial precursor in the production of polyacrylates, polycarbonates, epoxy resins, polyester plastics, flame retardants and other chemical products such as baby bottles, food storage containers, toys, medicinal equipment, reusable drink containers, bar soaps, and shaving cream. 5,6 Being highly soluble and stable in water, it gets easily leached from these materials and migrates into different aquatic streams, which ultimately results in the accumulation of BPA in the human body. Moreover, BPA has the tendency to mimic endogenous hormones, thereby causing sexual dysfunction, infertility, cancer (breast cancer, neuroblastoma), neurological disorders and cardiovascular diseases.…”
