bisphenol-A exposure

Post by deleted-112949 »

We are doing a project that involves the use of bisphenol-A (BPA). The question that we need an answer to is: on average how much BPA is a human exposed to daily?

Hello,

To answer this question, try a Google search using terms like "BPA exposure study". One of the results I found was the following from the FDA:

http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/Consume ... 297954.htm

This page gives the links to many other resources on the subject. I am not sure the answer is as simple as you hope because there are some habits, such as use of canned foods, that make the definition of the average person not quite so clear.

Please let me know if you need further help with this.
