Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that bisphenol A (BPA), a principal component in the production of polycarbo- nate rigid plastic, is used in many products intended for use by young children. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, ninety-three percent of Americans have detectable levels of bisphenol A in their bodies. Research studies have found that babies and toddlers have high- er levels of bisphenol A in their bodies than do adults because of greater exposure and reduced capacity to metabolize bisphenol A. Bisphenol A is a known estrogen-mimicking endocrine disruptor chemi- cal. Endocrine disruption has been linked to a greater number of common ailments, including heart disease, immune system disruption, brain dete- rioration, type-2 diabetes, cancer and obesity. The state of New York must act to significantly reduce the harm from bisphenol A, particularly for infants and children, the most vulnerable within our population. S 2.
