The saddest part of this is that it took this long for the Canadian government to do any sort of national survey. BPA is in just about everything right now.

An interesting article from awhile back. . .

The researchers took samples at more than 200 sites, mainly on the coasts around North America and Southeast Asia. They detected the chemical along the shorelines of 20 countries and in every batch of water or sand tested.

The Japanese researchers found BPA in the oceans and sand in amounts ranging from 10 ppb to 50,000 ppb. Environment Canada's proposed water pollution limit for industry is 1.75 ppb.
