The topic I chose for my literature review is Bisphenol A (BPA) and endocrine disruption.
What agencies at the local, state, federal, and/or international level provide information, regulatory oversight, or are otherwise implicated in addressing that topic?
The FDA is responsible for determining the safety and efficacy of products and drugs available to the general public. They are responsible removing or amending the usage of chemicals or products that are proved to harm human health or that are toxic. In addition, the FDA consults with the National Institutes of Health, the National Toxicology Program, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Hi Christina,
ReplyDeleteThis is an important topic that the government need to have more regulations. I think the FDA should be more strict with manufacturers to make sure that BPA are not found in consumer products like canned food. I'm looking forward in learning more about BPA in your presentation.
