Plastic Tubs and BPA

Does BPA exist in the sterilite plastic tubs that are used in the various teks? If one puts field capacity perlite into a plastic tub and sets it under a light does BPA leech into the perlite?
It's not something i am extremely concerned about I was just thinking about how cultivation went from fish aquariums to shotguns/monotubs and back to unmodified tubs.

I understand that the real risk associated with BPA comes from the handling of heat sensitive recipt paper. Im not planning on licking my perlite.

no they are pp5.
check the codes on plastics. pp1, 2, and 7 i think are the bad ones.. i think.
but 5 is good for autoclaving and make great fruiting containers.

Yes there is Bisphenol-A in/on almost all plastic products in the USA. It is used as a lubricant and a preservative for most plastics. It keeps plastic products from sticking to eachother and equipment and prevents damage due to environmental factors. It is a common ingredient in plastic its self and is applied via spray coating to finished products as well.
F.Y.I. Black plastic trashbags like the ones people line monotubs with are Loaded with BPA, and have a very weak matrix density.
There are countless studies on the dangerous health concerns associated with BPA. Its really bad stuff but it saves big companies tons of money in processing and lost product.
Here is what cbs (never trust the media lol) news says. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bpa-exposure-linked-to-genetic-changes-that-alter-brain-development/
Ever notice how many more mutants there are in the first flush in a new tub?

Given the public distrust of BPA, manufacturers have been replacing it with other chemicals from the diverse bisphenol family. Substances with names such as bisphenol AF, bisphenol B, bisphenol C, bisphenol E, bisphenol F and bisphenol S. The names are similar for a reason their chemical structures are practically identical and research has shown that many such replacements also exhibit hormone-disrupting activity.
It's like LSD vs 1pLSD loop holing.

Or maybe the leftover poop particles from the 10% recycled tap water. Super leached treated humanure....hahahaha.
Too cheap to spring for some good water....lol
Jokes aside, I brought up an old post due to valid concerns. Personally I have a bit of spite towards people/companies that profit from things that are known to be harmful through regular exposure. Disdain is traced to people dying on me left and right from things like cancer and other degenerative diseases and addictions. My spouse has dealt with cancer several times in the past and has been able to completely heal in a natural way. I have learned through experience just how dangerous exposure to poorly researched industrial chemicals can be. Im tired of watching my sisters and brothers suffer needlessly. Ignorance and arrogance and denial have got to go. We as an intelligent community of consciousness driven people can figure out a healthier way.
BPA is really bad, and actually illegal in much of the world for good reason. Wether or not bpa is absorbed/processed by the mushies and possibly passed to the consumer in a dangerous way while in extremely receptive and transformative states is beyond my reconing.
What I am certain of is that BPA is not necessary for growing mushrooms and therefore exposure should be eliminated for a quality simulation of enhanced natural biological processes.
