National Toxicology Program Final Report on Bisphenol A
In it's final report (PDF) on bisphenol A, a chemical used to make hard plastics and epoxy resins, the U.S. government's National Toxicology Program says current human exposure to bisphenol A is of “some concern” for effects on development of the prostate gland and brain and for behavioral effects in fetuses, infants and children.
