Think soda cans.&lt;p&gt;- It&amp;#x27;s the &amp;quot;toner&amp;quot; of thermal paper. Basically every modern receipt you get is a sheet of BPA dusted paper.&lt;p&gt;- The BPA alternatives are basically the same thing as BPA, similar in structure and function, and likely have the same negative health profile. However you get to proudly put &amp;quot;BPA Free!&amp;quot; on your product.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Public exposure to BPA exceeds acceptable health safety levels</title><url>https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/news/public-exposure-to-bisphenol-a</url></story>

It’s almost impossible to avoid some form of it now. It’s in food packaging, paper receipts, clothes, and much more. That’s ignoring other classes of pollutants like PFAS which you can find on cookware, clothing, and even dental floss.&lt;p&gt;I predict that artificial insemination will likely become more the norm in the future&lt;p&gt;Edit: let’s pretend that we can magically remove these pollutants from all new products in every country starting now. That still won’t eliminate the problem because it’s still in the environment and animals have been ingesting it. there is also giant source of it in the middle of the Pacific</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Public exposure to BPA exceeds acceptable health safety levels</title><url>https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/news/public-exposure-to-bisphenol-a</url></story>
