First-of-its-kind Canadian experiment finds body levels of hormone disrupting BPA and BPS spike after handling receipts
First-of-its-kind Canadian experiment finds body levels of hormone disrupting BPA and BPS spike after handling receipts
Environmental Defence calls on the Canadian government to immediately ban BPA and other bisphenols on receipts to protect cashiers and customers
Toronto, Ont. – An experiment released today and conducted by Environmental Defence shows that cashiers are exposed to significant levels of hormone-disrupting bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S (BPS) by handling receipts on the job. These same thermal paper receipts are suspected of contributing greatly to Canadians’ daily exposure to bisphenols.
“To see the levels of BPA and BPS in my body grow upwards of a hundred-fold just from holding receipts is mind boggling,” says Muhannad Malas, Toxics Program Manager at Environmental Defence and one of the experiment participants. “It is even more alarming that this is happening in the bodies of hundreds of thousands of women and teenage cashiers who are more biologically vulnerable to the effects of these chemicals.”
All those products with BPA-free labels
Used to have this poison in them
Like baby bottles
Now, they could well contain BPS
As a replacement
Gerber says safety is No. 1 priority after baby food study
The study , conducted by Healthy Babies Bright Futures, tested 168 baby foods from major manufacturers in the U.S. and found 95% contained lead, 73% contained arsenic, 75% had cadmium and 32% contained mercury.
A company spokesperson said trace amounts of elements like arsenic and lead occur naturally in the environment, so it’s possible for them to be found in fruits, vegetables and grains.
“Given their natural occurrence in our soil and water, many food safety and agricultural experts suggest that it is not feasible to achieve a ‘zero’ level of these elements — even in homemade foods made from organic ingredients,” the spokesperson said.
