Bisphenol A (BPA) is used in an enormous number of products. It's in nearly everyone's bloodstream. And now, Canada has declared BPA a toxic substance, both to the environment and to public health.
Canadian officials said that the declaration is the first step toward better BPA regulation. Now that the chemical is classified as toxic, it's easier for the Canadian government to ban BPA in specific products. Canada has already banned BPA in baby bottles, and the new listing will likely bring an end to all food-related uses for BPA in the country.
