Explanation:
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a structural/key component in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics. Polycarbonate is a type of plastic known for its transparency, impact resistance, and heat resistance. BPA is used in the production of polycarbonate plastics to enhance their strength and durability. However, BPA has been a cause of concern due to its potential health effects, particularly in relation to hormonal disruption. As a result, there have been efforts to reduce the use of BPA in consumer products.
