Widespread exposure to BPA substitute is occurring from cash register receipts, other paper: People are being exposed to higher levels of the substitute for BPA in cash register thermal paper receipts and many of the other products that engendered concerns about the health effects of bisphenol A, according to a new study. Bisphenol S (BPS) is now frequently found in thermal and recycled paper and paper currency. BPS is closely related to BPA, with some of the same estrogen-mimicking effects, and unanswered questions exist about whether it is safer.
