BPA-like chemical raising concern of ‘alarming’ brain damage: study
Fox News
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.
"We were surprised how many vital brain functions in fish are affected by the plasticizers used in numerous industries," Elisabeth Schirmer, the first author of the study, said to News Atlas. "This damage, as we were able to show, does not occur immediately. However, when the brain cells are exposed to small amounts of BPA or BPS for a month, the damage is unmistakable." According to a 2018 report, both BPA and BPS are used as color developers and many businesses make their receipts with these chemicals.More Related News
