Bisphenol-A (BPA) is an endocrine disrupting chemical. A recent study sought to examine the effects of in utero BPA exposure on human offspring.
Parental occupational exposure to BPA during pregnancy was shown to be associated with shortened anogenital distance in male offspring. The association was stronger for maternal exposure.
According to the study, as reprinted on the website Green Med Info:
“Our findings provide the first epidemiologic evidence that in utero BPA exposure may adversely affect male genital development.”
