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.
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.

Longstanding tests for human BPA exposure have relied on an enzyme solution made from snails to transform BPA metabolites - breakdown products formed as the chemical passes through the body - back ...
Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a controversial chemical compound present in commercially available tin can plastic linings [37] and transferred to canned food. The inside of the can is coated with an epoxy coating, in an attempt to prevent food or beverage from coming into contact with the metal.
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical compound primarily used in the manufacturing of various plastics. It is a colourless solid which is soluble in most common organic solvents, but has very poor solubility in water. [2] [7] BPA is produced on an industrial scale by the condensation reaction of phenol and acetone. Global production in 2022 was ...
The researchers also noted that certain plastic chemicals are directly linked with a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, including bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates (PAEs), and plasticizers.
Health effects of pesticides may be acute or delayed in those who are exposed. [1] Acute effects can include pesticide poisoning, which may be a medical emergency. [2] Strong evidence exists for other, long-term negative health outcomes from pesticide exposure including birth defects, fetal death, [3] neurodevelopmental disorder, [4] cancer, and neurologic illness including Parkinson's disease ...
