Bisphenol一种化学制品在塑料瓶危害孩子， Feds结束

由 大卫Gutierrez | 第一次，美国的分支。 政府承认共同的工业化工bisphenol A (BPA)也许形成健康风险。

BPA是一种关键的成份在水中发现的坚硬，清楚的聚碳酸酯纤维塑料和乳瓶。 它也用于做划线员为食物和婴儿惯例罐头。 BPA显示渗出在这些容器和入食物或液体和美国的90%外面。 居民运载它在他们的身体。

健康全国学院的全国毒素学节目在4月认为，有“一些不安”那 BPA may cause problems in fetuses, babies and children, including breast or prostate cancer, early onset of female puberty, attention deficit disorder and other problems of the reproductive and neurological systems.

“Some concern” is the middle of five rankings available to the National Toxicology Program, with none at one end and extreme at the other.

The National Toxicology Program’s findings “[reflect] a significant body of science showing that BPA may play a larger role than previously thought in a host of common health problems, including prostate cancer, breast cancer and early puberty,” said Anila Jacob, senior scientist at Environmental Working Group.

“More research is needed to better understand [BPA's] implications for human health,” the report reads. “However, because these effects in animals occur at bisphenol A exposure levels similar to those experienced by humans, the possibility that bisphenol A may alter human development cannot be dismissed.”

In spite of the report’s cautious wording, BPA expert Frederick vom Saal said that it is “very, very much in line” with a statement signed by 38 scientists in 2007, warning that BPA could be harming infant development.

“This is going to ripple around the world,” vom Saal said. “The bottom line is there really is a convergence of opinion that is occurring.”
