ST. PAUL, MN — A Minnesota Senate health care panel was scheduled to meet on February 2 to pursue legislation to ban the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) from use in everyday plastics, including food and beverage containers, according to a February 2 FOX 9 report.
The bill would prohibit BPA from being used in plastic children’s toys, bottles and other products.
BPA, a plastic hardening compound, is used in the manufacture of polycarbonate water bottles, other food packaging and PVC water pipes. Studies have linked it to developmental problems in infants.
Recently released research reveals that surprisingly high levels of BPA remain in the human body, even after fasting, as WaterTech Online® reported.
