Bisphenol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with biphenol.

The bisphenols (/ˈbɪsfɪnɒl/) are a group of chemical compounds with two hydroxyphenyl functionalities. Most of them are based on diphenylmethane. The exceptions are bisphenol S, P, and M. "Bisphenol" is a common name; the letter following refers to one of the reactants. Bisphenol A is the most popular representative of this group, often simply called "bisphenol."[1]

Health effects[]

Bisphenols A (BPA), F (BPF) and S (BPS) have been shown to be endocrine disruptors.[2] Due to its high production volumes, BPA has been characterised as a "pseudo-persistent" chemical,[3] leading to its spreading and potential accumulation in a variety of environmental matrices, even though it has a fairly short half-life.[4]
