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.
Current Aspect of Bisphenol A Toxicology and Its Health Effects
TLDR
The current knowledge on the toxicological profiles and health effects of BPA, with emphasis on the mechanisms of its toxicity, is summarized.
Endocrine disrupting chemical Bisphenol A and its potential effects on female health.
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.
A Comparative Study of Effects of 28-Day Exposure of Bisphenol A and Bisphenol S on Body Weight Changes, Organ Histology, and Relative Organ Weight
TLDR
Both BPA and BPS produced similar detrimental changes in body weight, histology of stomach, small intestine, lung, and kidney, and relative organ weight of lung and kidney in rats, suggesting caution about the application of BPS as a substitute of BPA.
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.
Cardiovascular toxicity and mechanism of bisphenol A and emerging risk of bisphenol S.
Perfluoroalkyl acid and bisphenol-A exposure via food sources in four First Nation communities in Quebec, Canada.
TLDR
The results highlight the importance of better documenting food-processing and packaging methods, particularly for dairy products, and their contribution to endocrine disruptors exposures as well as to promote minimally processed and unpackaged foods to provide healthier food environments for youth in Indigenous communities and beyond.
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.

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.
