The “Associated Press” reports New York Senator Charles Schumer is urging the EPA to develop an action plan for bisphenol A (BPA), which has been linked to reproductive and neurological disorders in animal studies.

BPA was not among them, despite agency director Lisa Jackson identifying the chemical last fall as one six that deserve more attention.
