Hentges, Ph.D., of the Polycarbonate\/BPA Global Group of the American Chemistry Council for an update on Polycarbonate Plastic and Bisphenol A (BPA).\u00a0 In recent years, a great deal of attention has focused on BPA, a building-block chemical used to manufacture durable, shatter-resistant polycarbonate plastic, which is widely used in products such as food &amp; beverage containers; electronics; and window glazing and solar panels; and much more.<\/p>\n<p>Join this webinar as Dr. Hentges covers two important and timely topics: First, he will review the latest science supporting the safety of BPA, including the most recent research from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the second part of the webinar, Dr. Hentges will explain the implications of BPA\u2019s inclusion on California\u2019s Proposition 65 list, including guidance on how to evaluate\u00a0whether polycarbonate products will require a Proposition 65 warning.\u00a0 Join in to learn: What to Know and What\u2019s Ahead with Polycarbonate and Prop 65.<\/p>\n<h4><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.ulprospector.com\/questions\/default.aspx?Campaign=eed38365-9b44-427b-8538-cb44072cab56 width=\" width=\"400\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"scrolling=\"><\/iframe><\/h4>\n<h4>Download the slides (for Prospector Members only)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wistia_embed\" src=\"\/\/fast.wistia.net\/embed\/iframe\/eygp5xoe6l\" name=\"wistia_embed\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/fast.wistia.net\/assets\/external\/E-v1.js\" async=\"\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"S\" name=\"S\"><\/a><a id=\"Q\" name=\"Q\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recorded Thursday, May 26 at 2PM\u00a0EDT &#8211; Presented by\u00a0ACC Join Steven G.
