Exposure to bisphenol A 'hard to avoid' in everyday life

27 February 2018

Measurable levels of bisphenol A (BPA) were found in the urine of the vast majority of the 94 17-19 year olds tested, according to research at the University of Exeter led by Professor Lorna Harries and Professor Tamara Galloway.
They called for better labelling of packaging to enable consumers to choose BPA-free products. The citizen-science project was carried out in a real-world setting to provide young people with first-hand experience of all aspects of scientific research. Students designed, took part in and published the research study into whether changes in their lifestyle and diet could have an impact on BPA in their bodies (ScienceDaily, 5 February 2018).
