Receipt Ink Contains BPA, Doctor Warns
Imagine the ink on your shopping receipts is like a magic disappearing trick.
After a while, the words vanish, and a dusty white powder is left behind.
A doctor says this powder is a chemical called BPA.
It can get on your fingers when you touch the receipts.
This chemical is a concern, and it's good to know about it.
Shopping receipts can fade over time, leaving a white powder.
This white powder is identified as BPA (Bisphenol A).
BPA can stick to customers' fingers after handling receipts.
A top American doctor is explaining the reason behind this phenomenon.
The fading ink makes returns difficult as nothing is visible on the receipt.
