This is undoubtedly a thankless task which any intervention will be frowned upon by most! ]]> feeds@yuku.com (milmoejoe) http://moreliaviridis.yuku.com/sreply/58971 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:27:26 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Hidden Danger in polycarbonate tubs? ]]> http://moreliaviridis.yuku.com/reply/58970/t/Hidden-Danger-in-polycarbonate-tubs-.html#reply-58970
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a monomer with estrogenic activity that is used in the production of food
packaging, dental sealants, polycarbonate plastic, and many other products. The monomer has previ-
