Bisphenol AF is an endocrine disrupting chemical. [2] Whereas BPA binds with human estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERR-γ), BPAF all but ignores ERR-γ. Instead, BPAF activates ERR-α and binds to and disables ERR-β. [3] The chemical shifts in 1 H, 13 C and 19 F NMR spectroscopy are given in the literature. [4]
A 2013 literature review on TBBPA concludes that TBBPA does not produce “adverse effects that might be considered to be related to disturbances in the endocrine system”. [8] Therefore, in accordance with internationally accepted definitions, TBBPA should not be considered an “endocrine disruptor”.
The concerns began with the hypothesis that BPA is an endocrine disruptor, i.e. it mimics endocrine hormones and thus has the unintended and possibly far-reaching effects on people in physical contact with the chemical. Since 2008, several governments have investigated its safety, which prompted some retailers to withdraw polycarbonate products.
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.
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA, phthalates, and PFAS are widespread in consumer products ... Doctors assessed the children using a composite metabolic syndrome risk measurement system ...
What are endocrine disruptors? Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with our endocrine systems, which control the body’s hormones—such as insulin, testosterone, and estrogen—and ...

Xenoestrogens are a type of xenohormone that imitates estrogen.They can be either synthetic or natural chemical compounds.Synthetic xenoestrogens include some widely used industrial compounds, such as PCBs, BPA, and phthalates, which have estrogenic effects on a living organism even though they differ chemically from the estrogenic substances produced internally by the endocrine system of any ...
