BPA has a low rate of evaporation from water and soil, which presents issues, despite its biodegradability and low concern for bio-accumulation. BPA has low volatility in the atmosphere and a low vapor pressure between 5.00 and 5.32 Pascals. BPA has a high water solubility of about 120 mg/L and most of its reactions in the environment are aqueous.
Bisphenol A (also known as BPA) in baby bottles may have been worth freaking out about -- the exposure of this endocrine disruptor to such developing bodies was an unconscionable risk. But that's ...
Canned food has been linked to higher levels of BPA in the body, according to a new study by Stanford University and Johns Hopkins University researchers.

Here are some healthier picks that O'Meara suggested purchasing at the grocery store instead. Choose meat, poultry, fish, seafood, beans, nuts and seeds. Purchase pasta, rice, oats and grits.
Bisphenols A (BPA), F (BPF) and S (BPS) have been shown to be endocrine disruptors, potentially relating to adverse health effects. [3] [6] Due to its high production volumes, BPA has been characterised as a "pseudo-persistent" chemical, [7] leading to its spreading and potential accumulation in a variety of environmental matrices, even though it has a fairly short half-life.
Certain canned foods and plastic containers could cause cancer -- and those aren't the only potential dangers lurking in your home.
Bisphenol-A (BPA) is an industrial chemical and organic compound that has been used in the production of plastics and resins for over a half-century. It is used in products such as toys, medical devices, plastic food and beverage containers, shower curtains, dental sealants and compounds, and register receipts. [ 50 ]
