Bisphenol A (BPA), especially used in the structure of plastic materials and
metal boxes for foods, may have negative effects on human health. The
importance of BPA as an estrogenic endocrine disrupter has arisen in regards
to the recent decline in the onset of puberty, especially among girls, throughout
the world. In this review, the possible health effects of BPA on several body
systems, including the reproductive system, and pubertal development will
be discussed taking into account the available relevant literature.
