 The study examined over 500 peer-reviewed studies on bisphenol, A, BPA, distribution in various ecosystems worldwide, finding that BPA was largely reported from urban ecosystems in Asia, Europe and North America, with information lacking from large geographic areas. Probabilistic hazard assessments were performed to understand global environmental quality concerns, revealing exceedances of Canadian predicted and no-effect concentrations for aquatic life in Asia and Europe, as well as high concentrations of BPA in wildlife and humans in various regions. The study highlights the need for coordinating global sensing of environmental contaminants' efforts through integration of environmental monitoring and specimen banking to identify regions for implementation of more robust environmental assessment and management programs.
