The Health Department’s National Toxicology Program (NTP) said in its preliminary report released Tuesday on Bisphenol A that: “there is some concern for neural and behavioral effects in fetuses, infants and children, at current human exposures.”
“The NTP also has some concern for Bisphenol A exposure in these populations based on effects in the prostate gland, mammary gland, and an earlier age for puberty in females,” the report added.
