Applied Technical Services is a leader among laboratories specializing in bisphenol testing. In recent years, Bisphenol A, or BPA, has become more regulated than ever as manufacturers and consumers alike become more aware of the increasing number of regulations surrounding the chemical. Our BPA testing lab measures the amount of BPA present in consumer products, keeping consumers safe and manufacturers compliant.
What is Bisphenol A?
BPA is a widely used chemical in the manufacturing of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. While BPA’s origins date back to the late 19th century, the chemical gained popularity in the 1960s when it became popular for its adeptness at creating strong and durable plastics. As its use increased, studies began to reveal that BPA’s ability to mimic estrogen could have several negative effects on the human body, including:
- Neurodevelopmental effects
- Immunotoxic effects
- Reproductive issues
- Metabolic diseases
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Increased cancer risk
While BPA is still used in thousands of consumer products, manufacturers must comply with stricter regulations.
