Endocrine disruptors Anses risk assessment activities EU-OSHA workshop Workplace risks to reproductivity : from knowledge to action 16 January 2014 1
Background history and context In 2009, Anses was asked by French ministries to: Identify products and/or articles containing potential endocrine disruptors (ex. Bisphenol A, Phtalates, Perfluorinated compounds…) Estimate human exposures to these EDs in particular pregnant women and/or newborns or infants Conduct a Human health risk assessment : Reproductive effects: fertility or developmental abnormalities on the • reproductive development (eg. cryptorchy, hypospadia…) and/or Endocrine effects (specifically for reproductive endocrine disruption). • For BPA to conduct a complete Human health risk assessment including effects on the thyroid organ, the immune system, neuro-development, diabetis, obesity…). General population and occupational setting 2

Exposure assessment methodology Identification of sources, compartments and routes of exposure litterature, inventory of • uses based on a survey of industries that targeted French companies; BPA contamination data litterature, specific French surveys commissioned by the Anses • in order to document BPA concentration in indoor air, settled dust, drinking water, food and thermal receipts; Development of exposure scenarios • Several studies document levels of BPA in thermal receipts (Biedermann et al. 2011 , EWG • 2010, Mendum et al . 2010, etc.). However none of them relate to thermal receipts disributed in France Anses coordinated a study : 50 receipts ( sept.-oct. 2011) • 9

Conclusions There are risk situations for the unborn child associated with exposure to BPA during pregnancy . Risks relate to the mammary gland and may be characterized by an increase in the number of undifferentiated epithelial structures associated with an increased susceptibility of the mammary gland to tumour transfomation. The risks potentially affect children of both sexes. Given the uncertainties associated with the RA, the conf onfidenc dence lev evel el has as been een • described des ed as as moder oderate by the experts .
