Bisphenol A exposure and the development of wheeze and lung function in children through age 5 years

Bisphenol A (BPA), a prevalent endocrine-disrupting chemical, has been associated with wheezing in children, but few studies have examined its effect on lung function or wheeze in older children. The objective of the study was to test whether BPA exposure is associated with lung function, with wheeze, and with pattern of wheeze in children during their first 5 years.
