Italian Children Exposure to Bisphenol A: Biomonitoring Data from the LIFE PERSUADED Project
A human biomonitoring (HBM) study on bisphenol A (BPA) in Italian children and adolescents was performed within the LIFE PERSUADED project, considering the residing areas, sex and age. The median urinary BPA level was 7.02 µg/L, with children living in the South of Italy or in urban areas having hig...
