Chemists Amazingly Create Way to Remove BPA From Water Treatment Plants
By ANH-USA
Some Good News on BPA in Water
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a toxic chemical used in plastics and other industries. It has been linked to many devastating health problems such as cancer, brain impairment, hormone disruption, obesity and more. It’s found in bottled water via the plastic bottles, but much of it is also in tap water and not filtered out of treatment plants. –Editor
From Environmental Health News:
As water treatment plants struggle to keep up with the chemical cocktail heading into our pipes, researchers say they’ve come up with a solution to remove one of the most ubiquitous contaminants—BPA.

Chemists were able to remove about 99 percent of bisphenol A (BPA) from water using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and engineered catalysts, according to a study released today in the journal Green Chemistry.
The findings are a potential game-changer. Water treatment plants were not designed to deal with chemicals such as BPA, which is used to produce polycarbonate, epoxy and phenolic resins and largely used to make plastic hard and shatterproof, but also used in thermal receipt paper and food packaging.
Comment: This is encouraging news. BPA is linked with a variety of serious health problems, including cancer, infertility, birth defects, and heart disease, and is used in making of many consumer goods.
“BPA-free” products are often no better, as one endocrine-disrupting chemical is replaced with another. ANH petitioned the US government to remove BPA from cash register receipts, but so far we haven’t received any response at all.
