Toxicity of BPA
Bisphenol A has been used safely as an industrial chemical for over 40 years. The toxicology of BPA has been extensively studied by industry, government and academic research groups in short and long term animal tests. This includes several reproduction studies multi-generation exposure studies, and a cancer bioassay, all of which are part of the scientific literature. Importantly, non of the validated research suggests that BPA would cause adverse effects from exposure through consumer products or normal industrial production and use. Environmental and product-related exposure levels are anticipated to be well below any anticipated effect level.
