| dc.description.abstract | Our food preparation and eating habits have gradually changed due to the pace of business life. Which have paved the way for the rapid development of ready-made food and plastic production industries. Various packets used for storing and selling ready-made foods and disposable plastic products contain Bisphenol A (BPA) which is very dangerous for health. This substance which can be transferred to the food not only acts like a hormone in the human body but also causes various diseases such as cancer, diabetes and obesity. The sensitive determination of this substance has gained importance in foods, human body fluids and tissues. For this purpose, researchers have developed various chromatographic, electrochemical and spectroscopic methods for BPA determination. In this review, the purpose of use, usage areas, exposure routes of BPA and its harms, methods developed to determine substance in question and pros and cons of various methods are discussed. © 2020, University of Sindh.
