ABSTRACT
Bisphenol A, a major constituent of the plastic, is creating an utter menace for this Anthropological and Biological world and is challenging our genesis in various ways.After the plastic revolution started with the accidental introduction of Bakelite, plastic has been chocking this planet and is threatening our own survival. Obstructing airways of birds and mammals, poisoning the groundwater, inflicting a threatening blow to the soil ecosystem, clogging the water holes are some of the major threats posed by plastic. In this paper, we are discussing about the potential threat caused by Bisphenol A, the cardinal facet of plastic, through various toxicological studies and molecular docking analysis.
