Category: bisphenol · Bisphenol
Record: specific compound · restricted
Identifiers: CAS 80-05-7 · C15H16O2
Aliases: 4,4'-(propane-2,2-diyl)diphenol, Bisphenol A

High-production-volume bisphenol used in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Domain scores are seed hypotheses about biological activity, not a single risk number.

Restrictions differ by use and jurisdiction.

Flags: environmental chemical

Phase-1 numbers are seed hypotheses. They are not curated consensus, not a toxicity total, and not a statement of human risk. Association is not written as causation.

Structural example: one source row can point at the BPA estrogen-receptor assessment.

Linked mechanism: ER-alpha agonism

Not scientific evidence. Present only to prove the source/finding split.

Structural example: the same source row also points at the BPA insulin-resistance assessment.

Linked mechanism: Insulin resistance

Same publication record, second finding. The source is not duplicated.
