Bisphenol

The bisphenols (/ˈbɪsfɪnɒl/) are a group of chemical compounds with two hydroxyphenyl functionalities. Most of them are based on diphenylmethane. The exceptions are bisphenol S, P, and M. "Bisphenol" is a common name; the letter following refers to one of the reactants. Bisphenol A is the most popular representative of this group, often simply called "bisphenol."[1]

Health effects

Bisphenols A (BPA) and S (BPS) have been shown to be endocrine disruptors.[2][3] Due to its high production volumes BPA has been characterised as a "pseudo-persistent" chemical,[4] leading to its spreading and potential accumulation in a variety of environmental matrices.
