Abstract in brief

Most plastic products release estrogenic chemicals (EA), which can pose health risks, especially to fetal and juvenile mammals, even at very low doses.
Tests on various plastic products, including those labeled BPA-free, showed most leach chemicals with detectable EA, sometimes even more than BPA-containing products, especially after stress like microwaving or UV exposure.
The study suggests that safer, EA-free plastics can be developed using cost-effective methods and materials that do not leach harmful chemicals when used with common household stresses, potentially reducing health hazards.]
