What is a typical persons exposure to BPA?
An extensive body of human exposure research, including biomonitoring studies, has been conducted worldwide. Studies consistently indicate that human daily intake of BPA is extremely low and typically in the range of 1-2 micrograms per day or 20-30 nanograms/kg-body weight/day. These levels are about 1,000,000 times below levels where there were no adverse effects in multi-generational animal studies. Similarly, these levels are about 400-2,000 times below lifetime daily intake levels set by government bodies in the United States and Europe that are expected to be without adverse effect. Comparisons indicate a substantial margin of safety between actual and safe levels of exposure.
