Opis

In an era where environmental challenges are more pressing than ever, Bisphenols - New Environmental, Pathophysiological and Social Perspectives offers a multidisciplinary exploration of bisphenols’ complex and pervasive world. From the historical evolution of bisphenol A (BPA) to the emergence of structurally similar alternatives, this book delves deep into the scientific, social, and institutional responses to these controversial compounds. With contributions from renowned experts, this work unravels the intricate biochemical interactions of bisphenols, their environmental impact, and their far-reaching implications for public health. From molecular insights to translational research, readers will discover how these substances intertwine with risks such as breast cancer and non-communicable diseases. By exploring both the current state of research and the pressing need for further investigation, this work emphasizes the importance of continued scientific inquiry and collaboration in addressing the risks associated with bisphenols. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts required to improve policies, increase awareness, and reduce the harmful effects of endocrine disruptors for the well-being of new generations. This book challenges us to recognize that, as we uncover the potential dangers of bisphenols, the actual cost of inaction will be measured in the health of future generations.
