RESEARCH ISSUES AND INITIATIVES: NIEHS funds human BPA research.

摘要

With dollar14 million in stimulus funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the NIEHS is bolstering a coordinated effort to produce data on bisphenol A (BPA) that will help refine our understanding of whether the general population's current exposures to the chemical pose a health risk. Used in producing plastics, BPA can leach into food and beverages from everyday items such as food storage containers, water bottles, and baby bottles.
