What is one way to reduce animals' exposure to bisphenol-A?

Reducing animals' exposure to bisphenol-A (BPA) can effectively be achieved through legislative action that bans or restricts the use of BPA-containing products. When laws are passed against the production and distribution of products containing BPA, it addresses the issue at a systemic level. This approach can lead to a significant reduction in the prevalence of BPA in the environment, as manufacturers are required to find alternatives that do not pose the same risks.

In contrast, simply using plastic containers for beverages or disposable plastic containers could potentially increase exposure to BPA, depending on the materials used in these products. Throwing away all water bottles may offer a short-term solution for preventing BPA exposure from existing containers, but it does not prevent future exposure or address the broader issue of BPA use in manufacturing. Therefore, legislative action is a proactive way to create lasting change and protect both wildlife and human health from the harmful effects of bisphenol-A.
