Plasticizers and bisphenol A, in packaged foods sold in the Tunisian markets: study of their acute in vivo toxicity and their environmental fate Plasticizers and bisphenol A, in packaged foods sold in the Tunisian markets: study of their acute in vivo toxicity and their environmental fate
Phthalates in Food Packaging and Food Contact Applications
The FDA revoked authorizations for the food contact use of 23 phthalates and two other substances used as plasticizers, adhesives, defoaming agents, lubricants, resins, and slimicides.
Baseline investigation on plasticizers, bisphenol A
Since the rate of e-waste accumulation is startling and the combinatorial effects of toxicants are complex, we have investigated six phthalic acid esters (PAEs), bis (2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA)), bisphenol A (BPA), sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and eight heavy metals (HMs) in the surface soil of e-waste recycling workshops
What is BPA? Should I be worried about it? - Mayo Clinic
BPA stands for bisphenol A, an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1950s. BPA is found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are often used in containers that store food and beverages, such as water bottles. They may also be used in other consumer goods.
The occurrence of bisphenol plasticizers in paired dust and
Therefore, we firstly developed a novel water-free method to analyze BADGE and its derivatives in dust samples together with other two typical plasticizers bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S (BPS). In order to investigate the levels in paired dust and urine samples, 33 paired samples were collected from Singapore.
- What is a plastic stabilizer?
- Stabilizers are additives that mitigate the degradation of plastic products by protecting the polymer chain or avoiding the formation of peroxides. Common stabilizers include bisphenol A, benzophenones, triazoles, cadmium and lead compounds, nonylphenol compounds, and octylphenol (Hahladakis et al., 2018).
- Which stabilizer is used in polyethylene & polyvinyl chloride?
- As one of the most widely produced stabilizers with an annual production of more than 8 million tons (Sharma et al., 2022), bisphenol A (BPA) is used as both a stabilizer and plasticizer in the production of polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride (Rani et al., 2015).
- What is bisphenol A (BPA)?
- Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical that has been used for the manufacturing of polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins and other consumer products, including food contact materials and dental resins.
- Is bisphenol A a petrochemical?
- Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical that has been used for the manufacturing of polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins and other consumer products, including food contact materials and dental resins. However, its petrochemical origin and adverse health effects, such as xeno-oestrogenic activity (EA), pose a challenge for sustainability.
- What is bisphenol A used for?
- Bisphenols’ widespread use in day to day life has enabled its existence in various compartments of the environment. Bisphenol A (BPA) is utilized as a monomer in manufacturing polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins, as well as flame retardants and is also considered as an endocrine disruptor.
- Is BPA biodegradable in food-grade plastics?
- Evaluation of Bisphenol A (BPA) concentration in Food-grade plastics. The highest concentration of leached BPA from food-grade plastic was 42.78 ppm. Brucella sp. and Brevibacillus parabrevis identified for BPA biodegradation. Evaluation of microbial degradation of BPA through U-HPLC and GC-MSMS.
