13 Apr Supposedly ‘Safe’ Plastics Substitute One Toxin for Another
MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Elisabeth Schirmer Doctoral student University of Bayreuth, Germany
MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study?
Response: Bisphenol A (BPA) is worldwide one of the most frequently used plasticizers. Over time it has been shown that BPA interferes with developmental processes in vertebrates, i.e. brain development. It is therefore increasingly being substituted by supposedly safe plasticizers like bisphenol S (BPS).
