General Description

4-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-2-yl]phenol, also known as Bisphenol A (BPA), is a chemical compound commonly used in the production of plastics and epoxy resins. It is known for its endocrine-disrupting properties and has been linked to various health issues, including reproductive and developmental problems, as well as an increased risk of certain cancers. BPA can leach from food and beverage containers made with BPA-containing materials, leading to human exposure through consumption. Due to its potential health risks, many countries have restricted or banned the use of BPA in certain products, and there is ongoing research to develop alternative, safer materials.
