Right, so if you touch thermal paper continually over a 10 hour period, you'll absord 1/42nd of the maximum allowable daily dose. If the BPA actually makes it into your metabolism. And if you're using one of the 40% of printers that use it.

I'm terrified.
actually that was an old study here is a more recent one
