Abstract

Bisphenol A (BPA) and 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) are a class of the broader group of compounds known as alkylphenol. These phenolic compounds are used in a number of commercial products and have been reported to be weakly estrogenic in previous studies. BPA, used as coating material for food cans and dental sealants, is relatively more estrogenic than other phenolic compounds.(omitted)
