Green Chemistry Method for Analyzing Bisphenol A in Milk by Angela M. Encerrado Manriquez, Wen-Yee Lee

“…A simple, fast, green, and sensitive method for determining Bisphenol A (BPA) levels in commercial milk was developed using a solventless sample preparation technique known as stir bar sorptive extraction, coupled with thermal desorption–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. BPA was selected due to its ubiquitous presence in the environment and its classification as an endocrine-disrupting chemical of concern (i.e., its ability to mimic hormone functions). …”
