Posted by Slobokan @ 16:05 · 154 words · print
Bisphenol A, also known as BPA, was first synthesized in 1891 as a synthetic estrogen. BPA is used as a building block for polycarbonate plastic. Bisphenol A-based polycarbonate is used as a plastic coating for children's teeth to prevent cavities, as a coating in metal cans to prevent the metal from coming in contact with food, as the plastic in food containers, refrigerator shelving, baby bottles, water bottles, returnable containers for juice, milk and water, micro-wave ovenware and eating utensils.
Bisphenol A has also been used as an inert ingredient in pesticides, as a fungicide, flame retardant, and polyvinyl chloride stabilizer.
The theme music for Test Pattern is "Concerto for Violin and Orchestra No. 2 K211 (Rondeau_ Allegro)" by Shlomo Mintz from the album, "CD1 Mozart – The Violin Concertos". As usual, all of our music is courtesy of Magnatune.
