Abstract Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a synthetic chemical used in the manufacturing of polycarbonates and epoxy resins. This paper is a review of studies reporting the occurrences and concentrations of BPA in the environment and associated impact on human health. Studies have found that at high temperature conditions such as open burning of dumped waste in developing nations can relocate BPA from plastic waste into the environment. BPA is a proven endocrine disruptor capable of mimicking or blocking…

Bisphenol A in Africa: A review of environmental and biological levels.
Aptamer-Based Biosensors for the Analytical Determination of Bisphenol A in Foodstuffs
TLDR
This review aims to take a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art research on aptasensors designed to detect BPA in food matrices and to show whether these devices prove to be a good alternative to traditional analytical techniques for determining BPA levels in food.
Analysis of Indirect Biomarkers of Effect after Exposure to Low Doses of Bisphenol A in a Study of Successive Generations of Mice
Simple Summary Living beings are constantly and inadvertently exposed to a series of environmental and food pollutants, triggering effects on health that are transmitted over generations. Bisphenol A…
The Role of the Bisphenol A in Diabetes and Obesity
TLDR
It is concluded that Bisphenol A is an additional risk factor to consider in the development of diabetes and obesity, since it is capable of stimulating the hypertrophy of adipocytes and altering the endocrine system by mimicking the effects of the oestrogen molecule.

Toxicological impacts and likely protein targets of bisphenol A in Paramecium caudatum
TLDR
An acute end-point toxicological assay is used to evaluate the impacts of BPA over the survival of the cosmopolitan Paramecium caudatum; and a proteome-wide inverted virtual-screening to predict the most likely P. caUDatum proteins and pathways affected by BPA.
A Review of Bisphenol A Effects on White Adipose Tissue and Its Correlation with Various Cancers
TLDR
It seems that the use of bisphenol and contact with it should be reconsidered with regard to its destructive effects on the endocrine system.
Repercussions of Bisphenol A on the Physiology of Human Osteoblasts
TLDR
According to these findings, BPA exerts adverse effects on osteoblasts by altering their differentiation/maturation and their proliferative and functional capacity, potentially affecting bone health.
Potential Pro-Tumorigenic Effect of Bisphenol A in Breast Cancer via Altering the Tumor Microenvironment
TLDR
This review examines the potential effects of BPA on immune cells, fibroblasts, extracellular matrices, and adipocytes to highlight their roles in mediating the carcinogenic effect of B PA, and proposes considerations for the risk assessment ofBPA exposure.

TLDR
Overall, it is strongly convinced that BPA is not a carcinogenic risk to humans, and is also rapidly glucuronidated and excreted through the route of urine.
