1 Toxicology Serves to Protect Human and Environmental Health Toxicology Must Distinguish Between Agents that Pose a Health Risk and those that do not. Risk = Hazard (how toxic) x Exposure 1 BPA and Health: Is Any Exposure Safe? Justin Teeguarden, PhD, DABT Systems Toxicology and Exposure Science-Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology-Oregon State University Joint Faculty 2 1

2 Funding and Potential Conflict of Interest Funding sources for the work I am going to show you: U.S. EPA, National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Other major funding sources during that time National Institutes of Health Current funding Same as above, but includes a research grant from the American Chemistry Council BPA producers group. 3 BPA is The Most Highly Reported Endocrine Disruptor 4 Number of Publications: Bisphenol A and Estrogenicity 350 "Bisphenol A and Estrogenicity" Total Publications Publication Year 2

3 Why the Controversy? The U.S. EPA, the U.S. FDA, the European Food Safety Authority, the Japanese and others all conclude BPA is safe at current human exposures. However, a group of scientists claim that although high doses of BPA are safe, effects are expected and have been shown at low doses. Based on extraordinarily robust data in humans and monkeys, human blood levels of BPA are expected to be below What levels are causing Blood/Tissue effects in Concentrations animals However, In Humans more that Current 20 poorly Exposure controlled Levels? studies show much higher levels of BPA in human blood. 5 We will Answer the Most Critical, Most Frequently Asked Questions What is BPA and how does it interact with the body? How does BPA get into my body? Where does it come from? How much BPA is in the body of adults and children? Is there enough BPA in our bodies to cause estrogenic effects? What about the fetus, can it have more BPA than adults? What are low-dose effects and what are the implications for human health? 6 3

4 How is BPA Absorbed and How Does it Interact with your Body? 7 How does BPA get into our bodies? Ingestion of food, particularly packaged foods >90% of our exposure is via the oral route Multiple studies, adults and children Dermal Cash register receipts Ongoing studies suggest absorption is not significant (NIEHS Cashier study, report from a public meeting). Inhalation Insignificant 8 4

There are some animal and in vitro studies that show toxicity and there are epidemiology studies that show associations between disease and BPA exposure For BPA or any chemical, the answer to this question alone is not useful. The right question is: Does BPA Exposure Present a Risk to my Health? 12 6

15 Conclusions There is extraordinary convergence between theory, experiment and simulation Environmental, non-occupational exposures most likely lead to extremely low ( pm or sub-pm ) internal exposures to BPA in the majority of the population. high blood concentrations reported in studies and in the media are outliers, and are most likely the result of contamination*. There is no consistent evidence that BPA at these concentrations is toxic or acts as an endocrine disruptor in animals *Researchers at the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and other academic researchers 1.

18 Conclusions The term low-dose is extraordinarily non-specific. Low-dose does not describe a body of BPA toxicity studies conducted within the range of human exposures Greater care should be taken in inferring human risk from low dose studies, or reviews of low-dose studies. There is an opportunity to utilize the wealth of BPA exposure data to place all toxicity studies in the context of human exposure and to design appropriate toxicity studies. Final Conclusions Broad groups of scientists within regulatory bodies have consistently concluded BPA exposure levels do not pose a risk to human health Human internal exposure is far below levels that consistently show effects in animals and is not expected to be estrogenic. The term low dose is misleading and applied to BPA has led to tremendous confusion about the risks posed by exposure to BPA. Carefully consider your sources of information
