paper receipt with gloves and some without. If you are one of the second ones,

confirmed that the result of taking the receipt without using gloves is increased
levels of Bisphenol A ( BPA) in their pee while the individuals who took the
paper with gloves did not have expanded BPA was firstly found in hard plastics
(for instance those utilized for making child’s jugs) and canned nourishment’s.
Furthermore, BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain
plastics and resins since the 1960s. BPA is found in polycarbonate plastics and
epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are often used in containers that store
food and beverages, such as water bottles. They may also be used in other
consumer goods.
Exposure to BPA is a concern because

fetuses, infants and children. Additional research suggests a possible link
between BPA and increased blood pressure.

sectors, parkways and different spots.
Do not let this industrial chemical to get on your hands because
