Bisphenol A and its analogues: Environmental pollution

Environmental pollution and ecotoxicity of bisphenol A (BPA) have been one of the hottest directions of researchers in the past few decades. But with various strict regulations on the production and use of BPA, other bisphenol analogues have also been used in various commercial products. This review outlines the current occurrence of BPA and its analogues in environmental media and food, biological exposure, and toxicity. BPF and BPS are also frequently detected in most environmental monitoring studies. BPAF, BPF, and BPS concentrations have been reported to be elevated in some areas of human urine. In laboratory studies, many analogues show endocrine disorders. They showed similar antiandrogen activity to BPA. For bisphenol A, it is very important to study its persistence, fate pathway, and products in the environment.
