https://padlet.com/danielmulholland/2eer0a857pi 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 17:10:48 UTC 2025-10-01 15:35:12 UTC hello@padlet.com caseyyoung3 https://padlet.com/danielmulholland/2eer0a857pi/wish/455270120 2. kids toys

Ways to avoid BPA is simple. Just check the material of the items you are purchasing. Most BPA free materials will advertise that they are in fact BPA free. And avoid products that generally contain it, unless otherwise stated.

We must reduce BPA and avoid it. We can do that by making sure products with plastic that you buy have BPA free labels and avoiding materials that contain BPA like cans. It doesn't cost that much extra to buy safe products and its worth the big investment in your health. ]]> 2020-03-05 18:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/danielmulholland/2eer0a857pi/wish/455271554 https://padlet.com/danielmulholland/2eer0a857pi/wish/455271763 1.

The best way to avoid BPA and other toxic substances is to try and avoid plastic altogether. Fresh produce from organic or local farms typically requires less packaging, and toys can be more than just plastic. These steps could be more expensive, but as a customer one can find creative solutions and save money. ]]> 2020-03-05 18:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/danielmulholland/2eer0a857pi/wish/455273260 isabellanathan1 https://padlet.com/danielmulholland/2eer0a857pi/wish/455273503 1) Plastic water bottles
