Hazard assessment of bisphenol A alternatives to close data gaps of concern for human health and improve their risk assessment

WHY? With the upcoming restrictions on BPA, BPA alternatives’ tonnages and frequencies of use are expected to severely increase in the coming years. Therefore, this project aims to fill the identified data gaps, providing a complete data set for at least four relevant BPA alternatives identified in an ad hoc Workshop together with ECHA and EFSA. We will fill the knowledge gaps on human health on five toxicological endpoints and by the identification of molecular biomarkers we will contribute to develop methods to rapidly predict the possible effects of BPA alternatives.
