大多數的美國人從來沒有聽過丙二酚（bisphenol A）這種化合物，但是每個人都喝過用塑膠硬瓶盛裝的飲品，或吃過罐裝食物，因而在體內殘留了微量的類荷爾蒙化學物質。
現在，美國聯邦顧問小組提出警告，表示這種化合物可能對胎兒或幼童的神經和行為方面產生不良影響。
丙二酚是一種高產量的化合物，經常使用於聚碳酸酯纖維塑料（PC硬膠；polycarbonate plastics）以及環氧樹脂（epoxy resins）的生產中。
PC硬膠經常使用於食物和飲料的包裝上，而環氧樹脂則使用於金屬製品表層所塗的亮漆中，如食品罐頭、瓶蓋以及供水管線等。
Most Americans have never heard of the chemical bisphenol A, but everyone who drinks from hard plastic bottles or eats canned food has minute amounts of this hormone-like chemical in their bodies.
Now, a federal advisory panel is warning that the chemical could be causing neurological and behavior effects in unborn babies and young children.
Bisphenol A is a high production volume chemical used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins.
Polycarbonate plastics are used in food and drink packaging; resins are used as lacquers to coat metal products such as food cans, bottle tops, and water supply pipes.
