Bisphenol S-induced endocrine disruption and reproductive anomalies
摘要
Bisphenol S (BPS) is commonly used as a substitute for bisphenol A (BPA) in various products, yet it exhibits similar health risks. BPS has been shown to adversely affect estrogen receptors and disrupt hormonal balance, potentially leading to reproductive disorders. Human exposure occurs through ingestion, inhalation, and skin absorption, contributing to environmental pollution and endocrine system disruption. BPS has toxic effects in both male and female rats, as well as in humans, including reduced sperm density and reproductive complications. To mitigate human exposure, stringent regulations on BPS in food and beverage-related products are recommended. Further research is essential to fully elucidate BPS toxicity and to develop safer alternatives.
