Bisphenol A

is (again) a new hot contentious topic. A common building block of many plastic items in our daily lives, there is still open debate as to the 'correct' safe exposure levels. We will shortly publish a themed or special issue in Reproductive Toxicology on this chemical. Advance press coverage last week of the results has lead to a number of public awareness / news paper articles - including the LA Times, Environmental Health News, and USA Today and in other science blogs.

We may see later this week, what impact these reports have upon the NIH when they meet to discuss the safe levels of BPA.
