Polycarbonate (PC) products have been very widely used in food contact applications such as baby bottles and water cooler bottles. Similarly Epoxy coatings are used for soft drink tin cans. Both these materials have a common feedstock called Bisphenol A (BPA) that could have an effect on human reproductive health. A new study conducted by an independent research organization in USA submitted its results in October 2000. The report clearly confirms that the migrated amount of BPA from the finished products of Polycarbonates & Epoxy is only 0.00018 miligram/kg, which is almost 400 times lower than the safe limit of 0.005 miligram/kg. This new study examined more than one million data points from three generations of laboratory animals exposed to BPA over a wide range of doses. This three generation study which looked for any effect of the low level of BPA that is generally found in PC & Epoxy materials, clearly indicated that there is absolutely no risk to human health on account of these low dose exposures. The results of this new study will be presented at international conferences and will also be published in professional journals. It is, however, reassuring to know that plastics in general, and PC and Epoxies, in particular have been intensively researched and in terms of their safety in food contact applications, have passed with flying colours
