Bis-(5-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-2-methyl-phenyl)-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-methane, also known as Bisphenol A (BPA), is a synthetic organic compound with the chemical formula C21H26O4. It is a white crystalline solid that is widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. BPA is found in various consumer products, including food and beverage containers, dental sealants, and thermal receipt paper. However, due to concerns over its potential health risks, such as endocrine disruption and potential links to cancer, reproductive issues, and developmental problems, many countries have restricted or banned its use in certain applications, particularly those involving direct contact with food and beverages.
