Abstract
Bisphenol A is an extremely high-volume chemical widely used in polycarbonate plastics, the linings of food and beverage tins, and shopping receipts. Canadians are ubiquitously exposed to bisphenol A and research shows that exposure at environmentally relevant doses causes endocrine disruption. Recent risk assessments and exposure estimates by the European Food Safety Authority have guided increased restrictions around the use of bisphenol A and established a lower tolerable daily intake, while the CLARITY-BPA program in the United States identified several adverse effects below this exposure level. Within the context of bisphenol toxicity and international regulation, this paper describes the need for revised bisphenol A risk assessments in Canada. Completed in 2008, the most recent bisphenol A risk assessment conducted by Health Canada does not include risks from alternative bisphenols or non-dietary exposure. It also does not account for the additive effects caused by simultaneous exposure to multiple endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
