BPA-like chemical raising concern of ‘alarming’ brain damage: study

A popular chemical alternative to bisphenol A (BPA), known for use in plastic water bottles and food cans, is causing concerns that it could “seriously damage” human brains.

However, when the brain cells are exposed to small amounts of BPA or BPS for a month, the damage is unmistakable.”
