Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I was wondering how you could detect Estrogenic Activity Chemicals in general-besides BPA. If anyone has an idea, I really need some help.

Thanks.

Hi NiceGirl761,

Unfortunately, I'm not a bio-scientist, so I can't be of great assistance here. But I did do some basic research and learned that it takes some pretty sophisticated cell culturing and DNA testing to detect estrogenic activity chemicals.

Hopefully, some other Expert on our forum who has a biology background can pick this up and give you some better ideas.
