Hey All-
It feels like this semester flew by! Final Research paper has been submitted! My research didn't quite turn out how I expected this semester, but I'm grateful for the experience. I was unable to find consumer products containing BPA so the good news is: companies using less BPA in consumer products! The bad news: I only got to complete half of my experiment. I tested a wide range of products from soup cans to plastic bags to chapstick lids, all of which came up negative for BPA. I found several studies confirming that BPA leeches from plastics in natural and laboratory environments but was unable to obtain the same results. Here are some photos of the products and the test swabs:
