It is of common knowledge that plastics are bad for the environment and also bad for human health [1]. It leaches out toxic chemicals which are often endocrine disruptors [2,3]. One such chemical is Bisphenol A that is already banned [4,5]. Awareness about Bisphenol A toxicity is gradually increasing, and there are user-friendly methods of Bisphenol A detection [6-9]. However, Bisphenol A is not an isolated chemical that leaches out from plastics. Bisphenols are a group of related chemicals that leaches out from the plastics [10-12]. We can take the example of Bisphenol B. It is chemically related to Bisphenol A [13], but its acute toxicity is more [14].
