Is it true that bisphenol A (BPA) can be absorbed through human skin, for example from thermal paper receipts?
Yes. One review states BPA transfers from receipts to skin and is absorbed transdermally, while several studies confirm measurable percutaneous absorption of BPA through human skin and receipt-paper exposure routes.
