BPA - Skin

The skin, a gateway for Bisphenol A

Daniel Zalko's research team at TOXALIM research centre in food toxicology (INRA, Toulouse) found that food is not the only way of being contaminated by BPA

So far, it was thought that contamination with bisphenol A (BPA) was done only through food.

At TOXALIM, the research centre in food toxicology of INRA (Toulouse), the research team on xenobiotic metabolism (E2-MeX) led by biologist Daniel Zalko recently demonstrated that the skin is another gateway to the endocrine disruptor BPA (1).
Results that open "new perspectives in the risk assessment of exposure to endocrine disruptors and particularly to BPA," Daniel Zalko said.
