BPA
agathon sets a good example
BPA is a chemical compound that has been used for decades in the manufacture of plastics and epoxy resins. In particular, BPA is widely used in food packaging, cans and plastic containers. The problem lies in the potential release of BPA from these materials into food and beverages, which can lead to human exposure.
