EPA Goes After BPA
The New York Times reported today that EPA is adding Bisphenol-A (“BPA”) to its list of chemicals of concern. BPA is widely used in certain plastics, notably food packaging and baby bottles. New studies of concentrations of BPA in surface water, ground water and drinking water will be required. In addition, manufacturers using BPA in their products will be required to provide test data to help evaluate effects on growth, reproduction and development in aquatic organisms and wildlife.
