Bisphenol A (BPA) is called 4,4'-dihydroxy-2,2-diphenylpropane, its chemical formula is C15H16O2, and molar mass (M) = 228.29 g/mole. BPA is a substance used in the manufac-ture of polycarbonate resins. According to researchers, a small amount of BPA can affect consumers and children. The small levels of BPA are enough to alter the reproductive and brain development. And these changes may contribute to the increased risk of prostate-related diseases, breast cancer, ovarian cysts, endometritis, and early puberty. Additionally, using BPA in the normal life can lead to negative impacts on the environment such as changing the evaporation rate and the rate of vaporization.
The aims of this thesis were to outline all the health impact of Bisphenol-A to human being as well as the environment effects of BPA. In addition to this, this thesis also gave the overview of the reactions of governments across the globe and in the European Union about affection of Bisphenol-A. By that, the governments and associations could release the solutions that can hamper the use of BPA.
