Register Receipts Low Risk for BPA R


esearch from the Finnish Institute of Occupa- tional Health has determined that handling cash register receipts, common in credit card transac- tions, can increase exposure of the hormone dis- ruptor Bisphenol A (BPA), but that exposure is well within limits considered safe when the receipts are handled under normal conditions.


The researchers tested 121 people exposed to the synthetic chemical through their skin and found their average BPA urinary excretion levels averaged 2.6 mi- crograms (mcg) per liter. The researchers then had test subjects handle thermal pa- per three times every five minutes, simulating a store cashier’s handling of receipts. The researchers found those that handled the thermal paper during the simulation test had an average increase in their BPA urinary excretions of just under 0.2 mcg per liter per kilogram of body weight. The researchers noted that this was still 25 times lower than the European Food Safety Authority’s proposed temporary tolera- ble daily intake of 5 mcg per liter per kilogram of body weight per day. Primary sources of BPA exposure are plastics used in water bottles and


many other consumer goods.

BUGS LINKED TO FACTORY FARM ANTIBIOTICS


he bacteria E. coli now causes 75 to 95 percent of all urinary tract infections, and research from


Iowa State University has confirmed that such occur- rences are linked to factory farms that use antibiotics. The findings support a study previously completed


by scientists from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and George Washington University that shows a strain of antibiotic-resistant E. coli called ExPEC, an extra-intestinal pathogen, was genetically traceable to factory-farmed animals receiving certain antibiotics. The National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System reports that 75


percent of chicken and turkey, 59 percent of ground beef and 40 percent of pork meats tested were contaminated with E. coli, and that the strains were predomi- nantly multi-drug resistant.
