Are purchase receipts a health concern
The study indicates that paper purchase receipts, especially those made from thermal paper containing bisphenol compounds such as BPA and BPS, do not pose a significant health risk to humans when handled casually. Although these compounds are endocrine disruptors and research links them to issues in growth and hormonal balance, estimates suggest that daily exposure through receipts is well below established safety limits. The risk is higher for workers in stores and food outlets who are exposed to larger quantities regularly. There is no need for excessive worry; however, exposure can be reduced by using electronic receipts or wearing gloves when handling receipts frequently. Overall, the risks are considered low for the average consumer.
