RIVM provides overview of the possible risks of bisphenol A

02 October 2014

RIVM has created an overview of the possible risks of bisphenol A (BPA) for humans and the environment. BPA is a component of many different products and affects the endocrine system. Based on scientific studies, it is as yet unclear whether the current levels of exposure to BPA are harmful for humans and the environment.
In the EU and various European countries (including the Netherlands), preventive measures have been taken to reduce the risk of harmful health effects. Late 2014- early 2015, various important ongoing European assessments of the health risks involved in BPA will be concluded. RIVM will include these assessments in a follow-up study (RIVM Website, 2 September 2014).
