Exposure to BPA can adversely affect health (EFSA)

Brussels, 17/01/2014 (Agence Europe) - Exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) is likely to adversely affect human health, affecting kidney and liver, as well as causing effects on the mammary gland.

Nonetheless, it concludes that the health risk resulting from BPA exposure is low for consumers as current exposure to this chemical component is too low to be harmful.
