Bisphenol A is used in the manufacture of epoxy. polycarbonate. and corrosion-resistant unsaturated polyester-styrene resins required for food packaging materials in industrial processing. Some reports indicated the possibility of harmful effects on rats. In this study was used a method for the determination of bisphenol A in blood according to the OSHA High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) guideline. The method involved blood extraction using methylene chloride. And it was evaluated developmental and teratogenic effects in pregnant rats and second generation. The results obtained were as follows. There was a significant increase in the body weights and treated groups F1 female in liver. spleen. kidney. but according to dose-response. FI female rat’s relative body weight and absolute body weight are not different. There was a significant increase liver. spleen. kidney organ weight and reproductive organ weight epididymis. prostate gland in FI male rats. There was a proestrous in pregnant rat. group 200㎍/kg. 2000㎍/kg. 20.000 ㎍/kg. The effect on rat treated with bisphenol A decrease organ weight and reproductive organ weight. Identification and quantitation were performed with using HPLC C18 column and using at retention time 5.5 min. The results of the detection of bisphenol A were at 20.000 ㎍/kg in average I ㎍/㎖, 200 ㎍/kg average in 0.9 !lg/m/ blood samples. From those results. it could be concluded that the effects of pregnant rat and second generation(F1) by bisphenol A treatment during lactational period were estrogenic and bisphenol A was remained in serum at low level.
