BPA (bisphenol A) containing plastic is undoubtedly dangerous to the environment but scientists have now discovered an eco-friendly way of decomposing the plastic waste.
Eco-friendly Way of Decomposing BPA-containing Plastic
Fungi may help provide an eco-friendly way of decomposing polycarbonate plastic waste containing bisphenol A ((BPA), two Indian scientists have revealed.

After 12 months, there was almost no decomposition of the untreated plastic, compared to substantial decomposition of the pre-treated plastic and zero release of BPA.
The new study is published in ACS' Biomacromolecules.
Higher BPA in Blood Tied to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Women
A new research has found that women with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common hormone imbalance in women of reproductive age, have higher BPA blood levels.

Highest Levels of BPA, an Endocrine Disrupting Chemical in Bottle-fed Infants
According to a study, infants fed from plastic bottles are found to have the highest estimated levels of Bisphenol A (BPA), with exposures falling with rising age.
