Polycarbonate plastics typically used in the manufacturing of products such as water bottles, food containers, and baby bottles. Epoxy resins used as coatings in food and beverage cans.<\/p>\n<p>BPA is an endocrine disruptor, meaning that it can interfere with the body&#8217;s hormonal system. BPA has shown to mimic the hormone estrogen, and it has linked to health problems such as infertility, breast cancer, and obesity.<\/p>\n<p>There is growing concern about the health effects of BPA, and many consumer products that contain BPA now labeled as &#8220;BPA-free&#8221;. Some governments have even banned the use of BPA in certain consumer products.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-149282 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bisphenol-a-properties-uses-health-and-environmental-effects.jpg\" alt=\"Bisphenol A - Properties, Uses, Health and Environmental Effects\" width=\"606\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bisphenol-a-properties-uses-health-and-environmental-effects.jpg?v=1647837683 606w, https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bisphenol-a-properties-uses-health-and-environmental-effects-300x212.jpg?v=1647837683 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BPA_Physico-Chemical_Properties\"><\/span>BPA Physico-Chemical Properties<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Bisphenol A (BPA) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C15H16O2.
