"An adequate margin of safety exists for BPA at current levels of exposure from food contact uses, for infants and adults"
"Studies pursued by FDA's National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) have shown no effects of BPA from low-dose exposure"
"The current Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) level for BPA is adequately justified."
"The current Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) level for BPA is adequately justified."
"The highest estimates for aggregated exposure to BPA from both dietary and non-dietary sources are 3 to 5 times lower than the TDI, depending on the age group."
"BPA poses no health risk to consumers of any age group at current exposure levels"
"Levels of BPA in the human body are very low, indicating that BPA is not accumulated in the body and is rapidly eliminated."
Bisphenol-A in Polycarbonates
Polycarbonate plastic is the main use for bisphenol A (BPA), accounting for nearly 70% of total BPA production. Polycarbonate plastic is often selected because of its unique combination of properties, such as clarity, durability, safety, versatility and its heat and shatter-resistance, which are critical for many applications, such as spectacle lenses or medical equipment.
Some of the common applications of polycarbonate plastic include:
