About The Plastics Blog
As managing editor of Plastics News, I scan scores of Web sites, emails and news releases daily, and stay in constant touch with our network of global staff reporters and correspondents -- the largest reporting team in the plastics industry. I distill the more interesting items into commentary for this blog. Plastics News, part of Crain Communications Inc., began publishing weekly news in 1989, and launched a bilingual China site in mid-2005. In 2007, Crain acquired the two leading English-language plastics publications in Europe - Plastics & Rubber Weekly and the monthly European Plastics News.

BPA debate on the radio

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

The Diane Rehm radio show today (Tuesday, April 29) features a discussion on the bisphenol A safety issue. The show, hosted by WAMU in Washington and nationally broadcast on many National Public Radio stations, is scheduled for 10 a.m. (if you miss it live, you can check the Web site for a recording and a transcript later today).

Scheduled guests are:

Steven Hentges, American Chemistry Council, PhD, Senior Director Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group

Frederick vom Saal, reproductive scientist and professor, Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts & Science at the University of Missouri-Columbia

Warren Foster, director, center for reproductive care and reproductive biology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario

John Bucher, associate director, National Toxicology Program, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences

Tony Clement, Health Minister, Canada.

Sounds like a heavyweight lineup.

Mark Sofman:

And they were an amazingly civil group to boot, from what I listened to, maybe 75% of it.

Diane Rehm's biases were on display as well; she's clearly on the side of the activists.
