https://padlet.com/danielmulholland/1jnfuurmew5b You work for a public health organization and have been asked to educate the public about BPA and to suggest ways to minimize exposure to the chemical. You begin by examining your lifestyle and finding ways to use alternatives to BPA-containing products. Create a list of 5 ways you are exposed daily to BPA, and then list approaches that would avoid or minimize these exposures. Do these steps require more time and/or money? What are some costs of embracing these changes? What would you tell an interested person about BPA as it relates to public health? en-us 2020-03-05 17:16:08 UTC 2020-03-05 21:20:51 UTC hello@padlet.com michaiadixon https://padlet.com/danielmulholland/1jnfuurmew5b/wish/455401698 1.

2. Lining of food and drink cans
3. Cosmetics products
4. Children's toys
5. DVDs and CDs

Solutions:
avoid canned food, look for BPA-free alternatives, legislation limiting manufacturer's use of BPA, spread awareness of how common BPA is, shop locally instead of from huge companies without regulation.

This would likely cost more time and effort for consumers. The price of shopping consciously might exclude low income consumers from participating. Still, anyone with the means should make an effort to avoid BPA for their health. ]]> 2020-03-05 21:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/danielmulholland/1jnfuurmew5b/wish/455402338 https://padlet.com/danielmulholland/1jnfuurmew5b/wish/455402512 1.  water bottles

In doing so, it won't require more time or money but it will hurt the companies and businesses that sell products with BPA.  There has already been a ton of regulation to minimize the use of BPA in packaging, baby toys etc., but we need to stop using it completely. 
As it relates to health, I would tell someone that there are reproductive problems if exposed to too much of it. That is because BPA mimics the hormone estrogen. ]]> 2020-03-05 21:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/danielmulholland/1jnfuurmew5b/wish/455403102 https://padlet.com/danielmulholland/1jnfuurmew5b/wish/455403301 1. use bpa free containers.
