Abstract

We investigated Free radical generation of endocrine disrupter, bisphenol A and alkyl esters of phthalic acid (DEP, DBP) using lipid peroxidation, enzyme assay (SOD, Catalase, Gpx-px), Cell viability and phototoxicity. Bisphenol A are monomers of various plastics including polycarbonates and epoxy resins which are used in numerous consumer products. The release of BPA from some of these materials has recently been reported. (omitted)
