Question

You work for a public health organization and have been asked to educate the public about bisphenol A and to suggest ways to minimize exposure to the chemical. You begin by examining your lifestyle and finding ways to use alternatives to BPA-containing products. Create a list of five ways you are exposed daily to bisphenol A, and then list approaches that would avoid or minimize these exposures. Do these steps require more time and/or money? What are some costs of embracing these changes? What would you tell an interested person about bisphenol A as it relates to human health?

Explanation / Answer

Product containing BPA
Canned foods cause most metal cans are coated with sealant containing BPA.
Sports water bottles may contain BPA
Baby bottles, sippy cups and other containers designed for children may contain BPA.
Clear Plastic food or beverage container may contain BPA.
Plastic Utensils may contain BPA.

Summing up all the plastic material may contain BPA so it would be better if we avoid this plastic product.

Exposure to BPA can be minimized by following this few simple steps.
Drink tap water or BPA-free stainless steel water bottles and it’s an very easy method to adopt
Eat plastic free container stuff rather than packed product it’s not an difficult task either and try to eat freshly prepared food stuff.
Incited of using plastic utensils try to use other alternatives of glass or metals as they are plastic free and it’s long lasting it’s can be tight on budget but in long run it’s cheaper to compare.
Instead of using plastic coffee-maker use french press or ceramic drip and this’ll not be an difficult to opt for.
So definitely I’ll advise above steps as an public health officer in order to make the people aware about BPA. All the above mention steps will not be going to take more time nor it’ll costly on an long turn, but it’ll definitely remain in the individual choice about it’s awareness on BPA and it’s effect on human being.
