| Abstract | Bisphenol A (BPA) is an organic compound classified to the group of phenols. This compound is synthesized by the condensation of acetone (hence the suffix A in the name) with two equivalents of phenol. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a multipurpose compound that is widely used in the modern industrial world as a component of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins and is one of the highest volume chemicals produced globally. BPA has specific health effects like structural and neurochemical changes throughout the brain like hyperactivity, learning deficits, increased aggression and increase likelihood of drug dependency. BPA can also cause polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is a common endocrine disorder, affecting between 4% and 8% of reproductive aged cattle, goat, dog, and women. We need to be aware about deleterious effects of bisphenol A containing plastic and try to minimize its use in our daily life. |
