Temporal and geographic variability of bisphenol levels in humans: A systematic review and meta-analysis of international biomonitoring data
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of global biomonitoring data and found evidence of increasing population-wide exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and the replacement chemical BPS, raising concerns about the chemicals' impact on public health and economies worldwide.
Our findings provide evidence for concern about increasing population exposure to BPA and BPS. Further studies estimating attributable disease burden and costs at regional and global levels are warranted to show these chemicals' impact on population health and economies.

Critical Analysis of Human Exposure to Bisphenol A and Its Novel Implications on Renal, Cardiovascular and Hypertensive Diseases
AI summary Read the abstract
This critical review analyzed urinary BPA concentration data across major population studies and found widespread human exposure to bisphenol A, with mounting evidence linking chronic low-level BPA exposure to renal, cardiovascular, and hypertensive diseases through its endocrine-disrupting mechanisms.
Bisphenol A and its analogues in outdoor and indoor air: Properties, sources and global levels
AI summary Read the abstract
This review covers the presence of bisphenol A (BPA), a hormone-disrupting chemical used in plastic manufacturing, in indoor and outdoor air worldwide. BPA exposure through air and dust is a concern because it can interfere with hormones even at low levels, potentially affecting fertility, development, and metabolism. The review is relevant to microplastics because BPA is a common plastic additive that can leach from microplastic particles, adding to human exposure through multiple routes.
The impact of microplastics on global public health, distribution, and contamination: a systematic review and meta-analysis
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 78 studies on microplastic exposure pathways, finding that ingestion accounts for roughly 74% of human MP exposure and that animal models show MPs induce oxidative stress, inflammation, and endocrine disruption, though causality in human populations remains unconfirmed.
Bisphenol A-an Overview on its Effect on Health and Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesized evidence on bisphenol A (BPA) — a chemical used in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins — covering its sources of human exposure, endocrine-disrupting mechanisms, and associations with metabolic, reproductive, and developmental health outcomes.
Temporal patterns of bisphenol exposure in the Czech population within the framework of regulatory measures
AI summary Read the abstract
This study tracked bisphenol exposure in Czech populations across two time periods and found that while BPA levels declined by up to 47.5% in children following regulatory restrictions, BPS concentrations surged by over 90% in children and 121% in adults — suggesting that BPA substitutes are rising as a new exposure concern.
