The extensive use of BPA-containing products leads to a high global population exposure which starts early during the fetal life, postnatal life and extends throughout the life of the individual. High temperature, repeated washing of polycarbonate products and exposure to either acidic or basic conditions accelerate the hydrolysis of BPA-containing polymers leading to an increase in the rate of leaching of BPA....
